The difference between /dev/sda1 and /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0 is just representation - they should essentially just mean the same thing.
So in otherwords, it is not necessary for you to change the oscarimage.sample file.
I have a feeling that you have not copied us the important error messages because so far the messages look fine (at least to me).
I would recommend you try to reboot the computer that was imaged by OSCAR and see if it actually boots up. I have a bunch of nodes which I used OSCAR to image and for whatever reason it bails out during the SIS imaging process but that is actually ok - when I reboot it the image actually works fine.
Give that a shot, otherwise try to take a closer look at the error logs and see if you can come up with something else.
Cheers,
Bernard

With the kernel provided by Bernard Li, I have been able to get the DHCP working correctly on the Dell PowerEdge 1750 servers. I'm running the EduOSCAR92 distribution with the initrd.img and kernel files in /tftpboot replacing the ones packaged with EduOSCAR92.
However, I now have a new point of failure during the installation.
The autoinstaller client gets the DHCP information, and gets a response from the cluster head, which gives the node its IP address. It then begins to try and install the node. I have captured as much of the error message as was displayed on the scroll-up buffer of the target node.

A df of my head node reveals:

i.e., they're not using /dev/sda1 and the like, but rather /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part1. However, this is a freshly created filesystem, so I don't know what's going on.
I have made my partition file as follows:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] oscarconfig]# more oscarimage.partitions /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part1 2048 ext3 / defaults /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part5 2048 swap /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part6 2048 ext3 /usr defaults /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part7 * ext3 /biobits defaults nfs_oscar:/home - nfs /home rw
I had the same errors when the above partitions said /dev/sda1 and the like. (i.e. if you were to run
s#/dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part#/dev/sd# on the above file with #'s as substitution delimiters.)
Anyone have any ideas?
