Hey, RHEL currently only works with local repositories (in your case, RPMs should be either in /tftpboot/distro/rhel-5-i386 /tftpboot/oscar/rhel-5-i386), because i do not know any official online repositories we could use. Of course you could use the repositories setup for CentOS-5 but i never tried to do so.
So three options are possible: 1/ You setup local repositories, but we have no tools to do that yet, you will have to do it manually. 2/ Use CentOS repositories and in that case, just update the /etc/oscar/supported_distros.txt to make sure the configuration for rhel-5-i386 is the same than for centos-5-i386 3/ You know an online repository for RHEL-5 so just update the /etc/oscar/supported_distros.txt to point to that repository and use the one for centos-5 for the OSCAR RPMS. So you should have a line like "redhat-el-5-i386 <url_of_the_rhel5_repo> http://bear.csm.ornl.gov/repos/rhel-5-i386"; where <url_of_the_rhel5_repo> is the actual repository for RHEL-5. If this is unclear or if you have other problems, just let me know.

Hello, Just started using OSCAR, and seeing this error, don't know how to go from here now. I have googled and searched FAQ with no results. I followed the installation guide on OSCAR website.
