This happens on the Okay, I think you are talking about the distro-provided initrd, but I am talking about the SystemConfigurator generated initrd (sc-initrd*) -- these are generated by SystemConfigurator when run with --configrd.

I am a bit confused here. As far as I know SystemConfigurator is only called on the client after it has been imaged via SystemImager. The image only has the distro-provided ramdisks and does not contain ramdisks generated by SystemConfigurator (sc-initrd*). Therefore when SystemConfigurator is called, there should be no existing sc-generated ramdisks. This is my understanding, unless something has changed in the code which I am not aware of. Is SystemConfigurator actually used on the headnode? BTW, I grepped for "systemconfigurator" in packages/sis/scripts/* in my old checkout of trunk, and the script post_rpm_nochroot came up. However, this script seems to have been removed from trunk via this changeset: http://svn.oscar.openclustergroup.org/trac/oscar/changeset/6044 with no apparent transfer of code to the new API scripts. You might want to take a look. Cheers, Bernard ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
