Hi Tamuka,
When you tried it from disk, did you try with your own kernel + initrd? I was
about to suggest that based on what Olivier mentioned, but when I tried it
again just now, it actually freezes at the same point. (Olivier, I should
specify my image's boot files using --flavor with si_mkautoinstalldisk, right?
It didn't say it explicitly in the manual I'm reading, but that seemed to be
the idea.)
I suppose I could leave out LVM altogether and have ordinary partitions, but
since it works on our old install (4.1.6) I'd probably just sooner go back to
that for the time being. But I can't see why it would have the same trouble
with LVM if it's using the same kernel that worked before. (Everything we work
with is currently 2.6-series kernels on CentOS 6.)

Subject: Re: [Oscar-users] Status of SystemImager project?
Hi Olivier andJesse
I'm having trouble with tftp for network booting, "PXE 32 tftp open timeout" Is
this related to the problem you just mentioned , I am using Centos 6 and OSCAR
6 as well. I have tried all the solutions I hv found online, but none of them
has worked, thus, disabling firewall, iptables, making sure xinetd and tftp
server are running, putting dhcp and xinetd on the same machine, I also tried
to write the image to a disk and install from there and its hanging before it
goes far,
Is this something i can resolve or its it needs me to wait for the system
imager fix? I am building a small cluster for an academic project and I have
taken longer than I was allowed to to get things running. Is there a quick fix
I can do?
Thank you for your response

Thanks Olivier! This is good timing, actually; I just this morning saw my
latest attempt at an auto install freeze at the first call to lvcreate,
and didn't understand why until I saw your response. UYOK should be fine
for us, and we actually were using custom kernels anyway up until now; I
just thought I'd give the defaults in si_mkautoinstalldisk a try. I'll go
back to our previous boot files and see how it goes. Thanks again for the
quick response.
