Please let me know how this works for you. I ran into the same problem and have been working with this matter. RHEL 5.3 system. I was not able to build a good on the client systems due to missing dependencies for the amd74xx driver. Maybe what Thilo has will work. I had to use a kernel and initrd create on one of the client nodes and placed in the oscar environment for distribution.
Please let me know if this solution works for you. --Mitch On Thu, 2009-07-16 at 04:54 -0400, Thilo Bangert wrote: > Hi Christoph, > > "Pawela, Christopher" <cpaw...@mcw.edu> said: > > Hello, > > > > I have successfully deployed the new version of oscar on redhat el 5.0 > > with no problems using the oscar_wizard.
