Souto, 

>From what I've been playing around with it would seem that system
imager has a problem with Grub when a hardware RAID set is involved. 
Granted I've only tested imaging DL380's with the cciss (HP 5i, 6i,
5302, etc.)  driver, but if you build a golden client using Lilo as
the boot, I'm almost certain you won't experience any issues.

Thanks,
Seth
