Andrea,
This is the result of the Strings command:
"/usr/bin/strings /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-8.el5xen | grep '2.6'"
BTW if I used "2\.6", it would not display any output
--------------
2\6>
O_2d6
vs2B6M
wO2B6#
H2\6
(K(*HZ2 6#
d2L6}
<?2&6+
x2=6
--------------
And this is the result of when I ran the si_prepareclient command
using the --kernel option and I got the following messages:
"/usr/sbin/si_prepareclient --server 10.100.1.170 --kernel
/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-8.el5xen"

done!
This client is ready to have its image retrieved. You must now run
the "si_getimage" command on your imageserver.
Your client has been successfully prepared. Boot kernel (copied from
this Linux distribution) and an initrd.img (generated by the
initrd_template package) can be found in /etc/systemimager/boot.
Automatically create configuration file for systemconfigurator:
>> /etc/systemconfig/systemconfig.conf
WARNING: unable to auto-detect kernel file!
WARNING: coulnd't create file /etc/systemconfig/systemconfig.conf (needed by
systemconfigurator)

Could you check if the following patch fixes your problem? I got a
similar error running si_prepareclient on a PS3 with Ubuntu 7.10.
Moreover, could you post the output of the following command:
$ strings /boot/vmlinuz | grep "2\.6"
Replacing /boot/vmlinuz with the correct file of the kernel you're
using.
