Hi Alan, that sounds like you're almost done ;-)
Some systemconfigurator trouble can come from a problem in systemimager 4.0.0. A fix is underway. A quick workaround: after building the image edit manually the file /var/lib/systemimager/scripts/oscarimage.master and comment out or delete the section after # Fix device names in boot-loader configuration Did you use the GUI or the CLI to build the image? I suppose you were using the CLI, otherwise the systemconfigurator should be installed automatically because you should have selected the sis opkg. If you used the CLI, what was the procedure to build the image? You should never need to add opkg RPMs to the rpmlist. The rpmlist is the very basic OS installation, without any cluster packages.
