First, there is an OSCAR 5.2b2 that is preferred to 5.1rc1. If you are not using dhcp in the image setting, then client should never attempt dhcp (after initial node imaging). Something is wrong. This sounds like the issue that I had where the node was imaged but the image was damaged. In my case, this happened because the OS release was unsupported (or at least untested). It had to due with aliases for mv/cp/rm being added to the root account of the RH5.4 release. As I recall. Try an earlier release (on the head node image). That may resolve it. You can always patch up. Alternatively, deal with the aliases before running the oscar install wizard (remove the aliases from ~root/.bashrc and logout and login).
