Grigory,
Since you say that you are using oscar-6.0.2, i assume you are installing
everything from SVN since binary packages are not yet available (i am working
on that).
About the version of centos, yes you can actually update the
/tftpboot/distro/centos-5-x86_64.url file to explicitly point to the 5.3 centos
repository. I know for sure, that fixes issues for some users.
To answer your questions:
1/ try to use the centos-5.3 repository (what i just described) and see if it
fixes the problem. FYI, oscar-6.0.3 will use those repositories by default.
2/ the same. BTW, you say 6.0.2 unstable... i do not understand, 6.0.2 is not
the "unstable" version anymore, 6.0.3 is.
3/ yes you can create a local repository: copy all the RPMs in
/tftpboot/distro/centos-5-x86_64 and then execute the following commands:
"cd /tftpboot/distro/centos-5-x86_64 && packman --prepare-repo
/tftpboot/distro/centos-5-x86_64"
Of course, you will need to install packman first (with its dependencies)
and be sure that you do not have a /tftpboot/distro/centos-5-x86_64.url that
points to a
online repository.

Objet: [Oscar-users] OSCAR6.0.2 - nodes cannot find root partition - local
repos?
Dear OSCAR-Users,
I've tried to install the recent unstable OSCAR 6.0.2, on the CentOS 5.2
x86_64. But was unsuccesfull yet. Here are some questions:
1)After some trial and error I've been able to install it and reached the stage
when it distributed the oscarimage to the nodes. However, they could'nt find
the root partition after the reboot from their hard-drive. I've repeated the
procedure with UYOK ON in the wizard, but it didnt help.
Could you please suggest me how to fix it?
2)Another two questions: there seem to be CentOS 5.3 now, so if, according to
instruction, I run yum update, it changes my OS from 5.2 to 5.3. Do I have to
replace the URL in centos-5-x86_64 distro file accordingly, from 5.2 as it is
set after installation of OSCAR packages to 5.3? Or it is better not to update
to 5.3 at all? What is the preferred way for current OSCAR 6.0.2 unstable
branch?
3) Installing everything from the Internet, especially client images, takes lot
of time. Is it possible to user local CentOS rpms somehow, as it was with
previous OSCAR releases? If yes, could yo provide instructions as how to do it?
Thank you very much!
