Hi Erich,
Thank you.
Basically, I got this question when I looked for some instructions about
updating kernel on the OSCAR cluster in the OSCAR admin manual.
http://svn.oscar.openclustergroup.org/trac/oscar/wiki/AdminGuide/Commands#ManagingRepositories
As you can see in the manual, all my purpose of running "systemconfigurator
--configrd" is make the new initrd of the updated kernel available on
oscarimage before deploying the oscarimage to the client node.
So, do you think this manual has something wrong and we need to fix it? If so,
can you please revise the document properly?
> Please post your systemconfig.conf. That one should contain something like
> CONFIGRD = YES

Yes, it does have the option on the systemconfig.conf of oscarimage.
