Hello, I am experiencing some bad trouble with getting clients to boot after installation. All these machines are using RHEL4. I have the image up and running and properly configured. I have the golden client setup and configured. I have uploaded the golden client's image to the image server. I have my first test client able to netboot, get the correct IP address and install the image. Looking at the messages that scroll by on the screen, it looks like the LVM VGs and LVs are properly created and the file systems are also made properly. However, once the install finishes and I reboot the client, I get this:
Loading dm-mod.ko module device-mapper: 4.0.5-ioctl (2005-10-04) initizlized: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Loading jbd.ko module Loading ext3.ko module Loading dm-mirror.ko module Loading dm-zero.ko module Loading dm-snapshot.ko module Making device-mapper control node Scanning logical volumes Reading all physical volumes. This may take a while... cdrom: open failed No volume groups found Activating logical volumes cdrom: open failed Volume group "VolGroup00" not found ERROR: /bin/lvm exited abnormally! (pid 376) Creating root device Mounting root filesystem mount: error 6 mounting ext3 mount: error 2 mounting none Switching to new root switchroot: mount failed: 22 umount /initrd/dev failed: 2 Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! Now, I haven't a clue why this happens. I spent the better part of a day doing Google searches and tried different things (the one which appeared to be the most relevant came from a Gentoo page which recommended editing /etc/lvm/lvm.conf to only allow scanning of /dev/sd[ab] to prevent the cdrom device from fouling up the LVM scan on systems with SATA or SCSI (all of my systems are SCSI). The golden client is installed with the x86 version of RedHat Enterprise Linux Workstation 4, with only stock packages that come on the distribution CDs, plus OpenOffice.org 2.3 from the OpenOffice.org website. The disk partition scheme is the automatically configured scheme from disk druid during the system installation. I don't think that I have done anything strange with this system. If anyone could provide a pointer to a solution, I would appreciate it. I guess as a last resort I can reinstall without LVM, however, I am not particularly fond of the idea of wiping my golden client and starting over. Regards, -Roberto -- Roberto C.
