Hello Giles,
just a quick answer to your question (maybe somebady else in the list can
write a better one). I don`t know if your procedure was right - I mean, I`m
not sure if you should or should not have to build a new image,
sata-supported, and push it to your new nodes.
Anyway, if you execute the following command you should have a more
comprehensible output of what was the problem with DepMan (usually it is
something about a missing package in /tftpboot/rpm or a dependency (another
package(s)), which you have to copy to /tftpboot/rpm):
export DEBUG_UPDATE_RPMS=y && ./install_cluster eth1
Take a good look in the list of packages and their status that will follow
before the installation breaks: the missing packages may be described there.
Good luck!
