Hello Erich:
Looking into the directory /etc/sysconfig under
/var/lib/systemimager/images/oscarimage we noticed that
only the following directories have been created:
hardware
network
scripts
Then from the system I copied the missing files and directories as well
as checked "etc/sysconfig/kernel" which had the line
INITRD_MODULES="piix processor thermal fan reiserfs" and deploy the image. I
am still getting the same type of error message.
Regards,
Mohsen

Hi,
here's a possible workaround for your problem:
In your client node image edit the file /etc/sysconfig/kernel before
deployment and add to the variable INITRD_MODULES the modules you need for
getting the disk device and the filesystem up. For my laptop this is:
INITRD_MODULES="piix processor thermal fan reiserfs"
You can see that I'm loading the piix module for IDE and reiserfs for the
filesystem. piix will trigger the installation of ide_disk and ide_core into
the initrd.
What would also help for debugging your problem: modify your autoinstallscript
to execute the systemconfigurator command with the --verbose flag. And stop
after this command, such that you can read it's output from the console of the
node you wanted to install. It will certainly tell you why lilo wasn't
activated.
Regards,
Erich

Hi Mohsen,
this sounds a lot like your sc-initrd is missing the ide modules.
Which systeminstaller and systemconfigurator versions do you use? I know I've
fixed that problem a while ago, but might be the fix didn't go into
main-line.
Did you use one of the latest trunk checkouts? Which svn version were you
building on?
Regards,
Erich

Hello Bernard,
1-A. So finally we have managed to create a "Oscar client image"but
after rebooting the client system we got the followning error:
No bootable device -- insert boot disk and press any key
1-B. We managed to boot the system using SuSE 10.0 installation cd and
boot from hard drive. This time around we got the following error
message when we boot the client:
VFS: Cannot open root device "301" or unknown-block(3,1)
Please append a correct "root=" boot option
Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on
unknown-block(3,1)
Have you seen this at all? Is there a solution to it? Please keep in
mind that we are using SuSE 10.0 as our OS.

Mohsen
