I had to just manually install RHEL 5 on one of my client system. Then I took the files from /boot
config-2.6.18-128.el5 initrd-2.6.18-128.el5.img symvers-2.6.18-128.el5.gz System.map-2.6.18-128.el5 vmlinuz-2.6.18-128.el5 Copied them onto the head node in the image I created for the clients in /var/lib/systemimager/images/(imagename). On the reboot of the client after imaging, I also had to stop the boot, exit the kernel line to add selinux=0 to prevent another panic. After that I just added that to the /boot/grub.conf file for further boots. This is not a nice, clean or even OSCAR recomended way to do it, but it was the only way I found at the time, and I was under the gun to get the cluster up and running. A better solution is being worked... --Mitch On Thu, 2009-07-16 at 12:41 -0400, Pawela, Christopher wrote: > Hello, > > I tried Thilo's solution and I have run into the exact same problem you are > describing.
