According to xcatconfig this is version 2.3.1. It is an inherited cluster that I have been tasked with cleaning up. After some research I found that I wasn't including all the drivers necessary in the genimage line. However this has not solved the issue:
I am using the following commands to generate the stateless image: genimage -i eth0 -n aufs,bnx2,igb,libphy,loop,squashfs,tg3 -o centos5.6 -p compute_cent56 packimage -p compute_cent56 -a x86_64 -o centos5.6 -m squashfs Once again I have checked the initrd and the drivers exist in $ROOOTIMG/lib. I still receive the same error using eth0 or eth1. -----Original Message----- From: Mark Loveridge [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, October 25, 2011 10:19 AM To: xCAT Users Mailing list Subject: Re: [xcat-user] genimage issues with CentOS 5.6: eth0 is not recognized Mark, You don't say what version of xCAT you are using. From a similar topic back in July 2.5.2 was OK, 2.6.0 was broken 2.6.1 fixed the issue again...
