Andrea,
Decided to take the plunge and install RHEL5.1 with systemimager
4.0.2-1. By default
on install the xen kernel is installed. As you will see below I've had
some errors
running si_prepareclient. Looked at some list entries(Nestor thread Oct/Nov)
so I attempted to run with kernel and module options which was
successful. The
--no-uyok fails.
Thanks
Logs from attempting to run systemimager 4.0.2-1 on :
- RHEL5.1 sync'd to RHN as of Feb 15, 2008
- kernel 2.6.18-53.1.13.el5xen
- hw : HP Proliant DL380G4 with SmartArray 6i
- Systemimager server running systemimager 4.0.2-1.
Below I show three attempts to run si_prepareclient :
1. si_prepareclient --no-uyok --server 192.168.81.35
- fails
2. si_prepareclient --server 192.168.81.35
- fails
3. si_prepareclient --server 192.168.81.35 --kernel
/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-53.1.13.el5xen --modules-dir
/lib/modules/2.6.18-53.1.13.el5xen
- completes - have not yet tried loading an image.

This client is ready to have its image retrieved. You must now run
the "si_getimage" command on your imageserver.
Your client has been successfully prepared. Boot kernel (copied from
this Linux distribution) and an initrd.img (generated by the
initrd_template package) can be found in /etc/systemimager/boot.
Automatically create configuration file for systemconfigurator:
