Hey all, That fix suggested by Robin worked like a charm for my imaging problem:

Yes, is the answer! :) They all imaged quickly after that... but the resulting image is kernel panicking, like was mentioned earlier in this thread. :( The messages right before the panic: RedHat nash version 4.2.1.6 starting Mounting /proc filesystem Mounting sysfs Creating /dev Starting udev Loading jbd.ko module Loading ext3.ko module mount: error 6 mounting ext3 mount: error 2 mounting none Switching to new root switchroot: mount failed: 22 umount /initrd/dev failed: 2 Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! I probably also should go to RHEL4-U4 (and will start that in motion today)... but has anyone run into this or similar problems with an OSCAR generated image before? ----------------------------------- Jason Hlady, B.
