Hi Dvir: SystemImager 3.7.3 will work with your hardware, however, it will not work with OSCAR 4.x due to code changes between SI 3.6.3 and 3.7.3. Your best bet at this point is to try out the 5.0 nightly builds (see the link which Mike provided you below). RHEL4 support works. If you have issues, please let us know at the [email protected] mailing list. We'll be happy to help you. Cheers, Bernard

If you want to use the latest, more or less stable code use the 5.0 branch. http://oscar.openclustergroup.org/filebrowser/49/branch The docs here http://svn.oscar.openclustergroup.org/wiki/oscar:5.0:install_guide:index should be helpful for the 5.0 install. Please let us know if there are deficiencies in the documentation still, they should be up to date.
