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.
