I am not sure why I had the issue with rsync. So, I went back to OSCAR 5.1rc
1) After the following changes, I got the compute nodes imaged. a) during the install yume, $ yum install createrepo /tftpboot/oscar/common-rpms/yume*.rpm it said "Package yume-2.7-2.noarch.rpm is not signed" so, I forced it to be installed $ rpm -ivh /tftpboot/oscar/common-rpms/yume-2.7-2.noarch.rpm b) because I am using CENTOS, i had this repository: /tftpboot/distro/centos-5-x86_64 and url file /tftpboot/distro/centos-5-x86_64.url c) I had to install perl-AppConfig $ rpm -i /tftpboot/oscar/common-rpms/perl-AppConfig-1.52-4.noarch.rpm d) I had to change /etc/yum.conf changed this: gpgcheck=1 to this: gpgcheck=0 e) I had to add centos this perl script /opt/oscar/lib/OSCAR/PackageSmart.pm changed this: my $distros = "debian|fc|fedora|mdv|rhel|suse|redhat|yellowdog|ydl"; to this: my $distros = "debian|fc|fedora|mdv|centos|rhel|suse|redhat|yellowdog|ydl"; 2) Then, the OSCAR GUI ran, and I imaged the compute nodes. However, I get the same kernel panic. kernel panic - not syncing: attempted to kill init So, now the issue appears to be with systemimager. So, then I added an override to the image for modprobe.conf: mkdir /var/lib/systemimager/overrides/oscarimage/etc added this file: /var/lib/systemimager/overrides/oscarimage/etc/modprobe.conf with these contents: alias scsi_hostadapter usb-storage alias eth0 forcedeth alias eth1 forcedeth alias scsi_hostadapter1 mptbase alias scsi_hostadapter2 mptscsi alias scsi_hostadapter3 mptspi alias scsi_hostadapter4 mptsas alias scsi_hostadapter5 mptscsih alias scsi_hostadapter6 sata_nv alias usb-controller ehci-hcd alias usb-controller1 ohci-hcd but, I still get a kernel panic. 3) I have not yet tried this resolution (on the head node): from here: http://www.mail-archive.com/oscar-users@lists.sourceforge.net/msg08395.html mkinitrd -v -f --preload mptbase --preload mptsas --preload ata_piix --force-scsi-probe --without-dmraid --fstab=/var/lib/systemimager/images/oscarimage/etc/fstab.fake /var/lib/systemimager/images/oscarimage/boot/initrd-2.6.18-164.el5 2.6.18-164.el5 Will it fix the issue?
