Make sure the dependancies of the drivers (if any) are also in the initrd. Also make sure they are in the correct order. Unless something has changed, they get turned into "insmod <module>" commands and insmod itself isn't smart enough to know if you have to load a dependant module first or not.
Let me know how it goes, Mark.

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...
