Hello oscar friends

We have a slight problem : we have a production cluster running Fedora
Core 3 on server and nodes, which have a native 2.6 kernel. However,
we have an application which requires a native 2.4 kernel. I thought
of using mksiimage to build a redhat9 image, using the rpms from that
distro's cds. The problem is, I'm doing this on a machine which is
running Scientific Linux 4 for x86_64. I didn't really expect it to
work straight away, but the error message I am getting is confusing :
[EMAIL PROTECTED] oscarsamples]# mksiimage -a --name redhat9image
--filename /opt/oscar/oscarsamples/redhat-9-i386.rpmlist.sorted
--location /tftpboot/rpm/redhat9/ --arch i368-v

I checked the rpm directory and these files are all there. What am I
doing wrong ?

Thanks, 
Bruce

PS - would this be better posted to the SIS users list ?
