I wonder if this actually "worked" but SystemConfigurator does not know how to deal with cciss? Anyways, can you try to boot with a rescue CD, install grub and see if that goes? > An other point is: when checking the partitions with fdisks, drive > geometry differs from the geometry of the exact same discs on the > master? fdisk and parted do not work the same way? I'm not too familiar with the differences between parted and fdisk, so I can't really comment here... > ps : I know I'm using beta software with unusal hardware :-) :-) We'll try to figure it out. BTW, have you tried using si_prepareclient to generate the kernel/initrd.img? Perhaps that works better as supposedly the OS of your headnode supports your hardware...
