Hi Allan:
Okay, figured it out -- I guess starting with 2.6.20, all HDs are treated as
'sdX', so if SystemImager thinks that your HD is 'hdX' then you will get the
kernel panic when the client boots.
The workaround for now, is to boot the imaged client into rescue mode,
modify /boot/grub/menu.lst (hdX -> sdX) and also /etc/fstab. This will
allow the client to boot up.
This sounds like something that needs to be taken care of by SIS... if the
golden image is running 2.6.20+ kernel, then we need to do the above
mentioned fixup.
Cheers,
Bernard

Hi Allan:
I built an image on Fedora Core 7 Test 2 i386 and netbooted my client, it
has no problem retrieving the kernel even though it is a symlink -- I am not
sure why it doesn't work for you.
However, after successful imaging, the client rebooted and it kernel
panicked, complaining about mounting /proc, /sys, etc. -- I'll look into
this later (is this similar to your problem with the SATA2 drives?)
I did encounter some weirdness during installation, it completely missed
installation of the sis package -- I had to manually run yume-opkg against
sis and then it was installed.
BTW, I have checked in your RPMs for fc7-x86_64, tomorrow's nightly should
include them. However, I don't think you have sent all the RPMs have you?
For instance, the RPMs for sis weren't there -- can you please rebuild
atftp, udpcast etc.? Take note that there are newer SRPMs in trunk now...
I have created 2 subdirectories in /tmp/rpms in our repository, so please
deposit newly built RPMs in the appropriate directory.
Thanks!
Bernard
