Hello Pen,

how did your hardware.lst file look like?

Did you try booting one of the client nodes into a rescue system (from the
RHEL4 CD)? If you do that, please have a look at the /etc/modprobe.conf file
which was generated by systemconfigurator. Does it contain the mptsas module?

You could also simply copy the /etc/modprobe.conf which you attached to your
email into the image. systemconfigurator is just editing that file based on
the hardware it detects.

Regards,
Erich
