I think there could be 2 possibilities:
1) Your client nodes are using SCSI HDs 2) Your client nodes are using a HD that the boot image couldn't recognize
You might want to quickly check to see if it is the first problem...

Hello,
I've got a new install of OSCAR 3.0 on a RedHat 9 box for my server and everything has gone perfectly by the installation guide until it was time to load the client image on the clients.
I have all of the MAC addresses autodectected and assigned to clients using the provided RedHat 9 rpm list and the sample ide partition file (originally I was using my own but I thought I might be making a simple mistake so I thought I'd try the sample). Anyway the clients all have basic internal ide HDs that seem to be detected in the network install before it fails but here is what I get around the time of failure:
get_arch Partitioning /dev/hda... Old Partition table for /dev/hda: Error:Could not stat device /dev/hda - No such file or directory Parted -s -- /dev/hda mklabel msdos|| shellout Error:Could not stat device /dev/hda - No such file or directory
write_variables
followed by the printed message saying the installation failed and giving instructions as to how to scroll. (this is typed so I am sorry for any minor discrepencies).
I've gone so far as to format the computer and then try the image instalation with the same format instructions but with no better results and am currently just trying from a clean HD. I'm working on this as a project for college and I'm hoping that I'm just missing somthing simple.
Thanks,
Anthony Supinski
