According to the code, that message just means it is going to try to
DHCP the host:

http://trac.systemimager.org/browser/branches/4.2.x/initrd_source/skel/etc/init.d/functions#L968

And it looks like it is trying to, but failed.

Is dhcpd running on your server (did you run si_mkbootserver)?

Did SystemImager correctly identify your nic and is using the correct
one to DHCP?  Any reason why you're using a bridge interface (br0) as
opposed to standard ethernet interface?

BTW, this is a quick start guide on how to use SystemImager:

Cheers,

Bernard

So I retried to install a new node with UYOK with success after run all SI 
commands without some options,
but :

kernel panic at reboot (even with option --post-install reboot), sorry I 
forgot my camera, I saw errors like "nosemaphores etc.." I suspect this time 
the kernel itself since I use RT prempt patched kernel, what do you think ?

suggestion . if run si_mkbootserver but cancel or interrupt it all the files 
but default are deleted, so
if I run it again it complains that syslinux.cfg and other are missing, 
which is a little ennoying. maybe delete the file
once it's installed ?

Anyway, Great job as usual and thank you very much Bernard, Brian, Dann, 
Erich and Andrea
