Hello...
i have a Linux Cluster of 64-nodes with
OSCAR version: 4.1
Linux Distro: Red hat 9
There is a problem which i'm trying to solve for almost a week but still no results.
When i boot a client from the network, after finishing successful installation from the network,
it reboots. After the reboot it tries to boot from the Local Hard drive
cuz i changed the /etc/systemimager/systemimager.conf and set
NET_BOOT_DEFAULT = LOCAL.
The netbootmond also restart after the item changed.
But it hangs there! n do nothing after that i.e after the message Booting from Local Hard drive
I dun understand why this happens.
here is the systemimager configuration file in which i made changes

# This setting affects netbootmond. If set to LOCAL, then after successful
# completion of an install, a client's net boot configuration is modified to
# ensure future boots will happen from the client's local disk.
# NET_BOOT_DEFAULT can be set to local or net. Be sure to restart
# netbootmond after changing this setting (/etc/init.d/netbootmond restart).
#
NET_BOOT_DEFAULT = LOCAL
i followed some instructions also from this site www.wiki.sisuite.org/networkboot
But all invain.
Can any one suggest me some solutions to this problem?
PS: i've posted this problem on Sisuite users mailing lists,but m not getting any quick response from there so i thought if any one from here can help me.
