Have you tried to uncompress and recompress the initrd directly in your image (in /var/lib/systemimager/images)?
Moreover have you tried to run a post-install script to re-create the initrd after the imaging, just before the first reboot? I mean the post-install script should look like: #!/bin/sh /sbin/mkinitrd <options_for_rhel3> -Andrea Matt Jamison wrote: > No errors reported anywhere.
