Hi Jesse, I'm still working on systemImager, but I'm right now very buzy at work, so progress is slow. Anyway, the latest working packages are in OSCAR repository.
I've been told that lvm on some hardware freezes. The solution in that case is tu use the UYOK (Use Your Own Kernel). The problem in SystemImager is the boot image template creation. the build method is broken. It used to be fine when kernel 2.4 or 2.6 were of the same generation among all linux distros, but new, the versions are too much etherogeneous and thus, when generating a kernel 3.x boot image on a rhel6 for example leads to broken stuffs (lvm build with kernel 2.6 system include and running on a kernel 3.x). My aim is to change boot image creation and replace most of the build with dracut. Unfortunately, this needs time because dracut command uses modules that are not available on all distros (e.g. systemd). I also need to check how to run systemimager scripts from a dracut image. (2 cases: initscripts or systemd) I'm sorry for being so long in finxing this, but I really have to much work right now to fix everything fast. OSCAR depends on SystemImager, so be assured that sooner or later, I4ll fix this once for all. Best regards, Olivier.
