Yes. I imaged the client nodes with no problem. When the nodes reboot,
I ran into trouble.
I used the method discussed in the SATA/SAS thread to fix the
hardware.lst and edited the
modprobe.conf

My headnode and the new client nodes have different disk controllers
(one is ata_piix and the other is sata_svw).

I suspect that somehow my initrd was not including the disk driver,
but I am not sure how to check if the sc-initrd has the proper driver
included.

Thank you very much for your help.
