My apologies for not responding sooner;
I'm running a fresh install, unupdated, of CentOS 4.4 x86_64 on a
set of SunFire X4100s.
I'm doing this from one sole remote console login, rather than at
the desktop.
Of the four NICs on the headnode, eth0 is connected to the "public"
LAN, eth1 is specified as the "Private" LAN for the Cluster.
I have managed to get the "Oscar Wizard" up, but cannot build a
successful client image. The error seems to be right after Step 22,
"can't create transaction lock". I've looked into this, and from what
I can tell this is an error in RPM that should have been cleared up
with the "rpm-4.3.3-18_nonptl" release of RPM.
I've attempted the following to clear this up;
1) Checked for any processes using the RPM database, none found.
2) Logged in Locally, and killed the "up2date" process in the taskbar
(saw a comment online somewhere that suggested that).
3) Tried rebuilding the RPM database (rpm -vv --rebuilddb)
4) Tried wiping out the RPM database (all /var/lib/rpm/__db* files),
and rebuilding them.
So far, no success. Any thoughts?

Sorry, this got lost in the gmail blackout. I replied before but my
message never got through, then I forgot about it. :(
Are y'all working on fresh CentOS 4.4 installs or are these systems
which have been upgraded from 4.2? Did they previously have OSCAR
installed on them? The "startover" script in 4.2 is not perfect...
Is there enough space in the partition containing /var? Is the
directory /var/lib/systemimager/images/oscarimage/var/lock/rpm/
there? The only thing I can think of is that it looks like the script
doesn't have permision to write to that directory, or just can't for
some reason...

Otter,
I myself am running into a similar issue with building an image. By
chance have you discovered a fix?
Thanks.

Greetings,
I recently had a problem installing OSCAR 4.2 on CentOS 4.4. I do
understand CentOS is not officially supported, but I had had no problems
installing OSCAR on CentOS 4.2. I did have 1 problem with CentOS 4.2,
and that was with python-ellementtree. Removing the YUM that ships with
CentOS corrected this. But with CentOS 4.4 I have a strange problem.
The script runs, and the OSCAR wizard comes up. When I get to step 4 :
Build OSCAR client image, it fails.
Below is an clip where error occurs, and attached is the full install
log with DEBUG_UPDATE_RPMS=y
