Your log clearly shows that SystemImager cannot detect your HD, therefore it will not be able to rsync anything over. So I am confused how your HD got imaged at all. Perhaps you pasted a different log file, I'm not sure. What should've happened after "enumerate_disks" is "DISKS=1" (meaning SystemImager detected you have 1 disk, instead you get DISK=0 meaning SystemImager cannot detect any disks) and it will start partitioning your disk according to your .master script and start rsyncing your image over. Anyway, if your image server has different hardware than your compute node, you should do a lsmod comparison of the loaded modules between your image server and compute node, and attempt to load the missing storage modules on your image server. Once they are loaded with modprobe, re-run UYOK kernel/initrd generation, that should create a ramdisk with the suitable storage adaptor (SAS) modules loaded which should hopefully work with your client imaging. If you are to use a compute node as a headnode, you will not be able to use your original headnode to control your compute nodes, i.e. with any manual hackery. The created image (in /var/lib/systemimager/images) should be identical, the only difference should be the UYOK initrd (which when generated on your compute node should contain the correct storage modules).
