[Oscar-users] Oscar 4.1 with CentOS 3

[OSCAR]

Title: Oscar 4.1 with CentOS 3

I realize this is unsupported, but figured I'd post it anyway in case anyone can offer insite.

I'm working on tricking OSCAR 4.1 into thinking centos3 is RHEL ES 3.  I'm following the RHEL3 update 2 instructions.  CentOS  3 is modeled on RHEL3 update 4 from what I've read.  Anyway….

I rebuilt the mysql rpms and included them in /tftpboot/rpm.  I also rebuilt redhat-release (v7.3 as that was consistent with my RHEL 3 update 3 boxes), installed it and included it in /tftpboot/rpm.  Everything went smooth with OSCAR 4.1 until I got to building the image.  When I build the image mksiimage maxes out one cpu and sits there.  The output from oscar looks like this:

1: 2005-4-12 12:52:6 [SystemInstaller::Package :: Line 77] Expected lines of output: 493
2: 2005-4-12 12:52:6 [SystemInstaller::Package :: Line 79] Finding package install files.
3: 2005-4-12 12:52:6 [SystemInstaller::Package :: Line 180] Finding files with module SystemInstaller::Package::UpdateRpms

I thought I'd post this to see if anyone has already been down this road.

Thanks,

John
