xCAT did have the support for fedora15 stateless. Could you show out the
message like: Enter the dracut mode. Dracut version ... when run the
genimage command? I need to figure out the version of dracut in your
management node.

Refer to the code in the genimage:
   if (-d "$rootimg_dir/usr/share/dracut") {
       $dracutmode = 1;
       # get dracut version
       my $dracutver = `rpm -R $rootimg_dir -qi dracut | grep Version | awk
   -F' ' '{print \$3}'`;
       if ($dracutver =~ /^\d\d\d$/) {
           if ($dracutver >= "009") {
               $dracutdir = "dracut_009";
           } else {
               $dracutdir = "dracut";  # The default directory
           }
       }
       print "Enter the dracut mode. Dracut version: $dracutver. Dracut
   directory: $dracutdir.\n";
   }

Thanks
Best Regards

i'm trying to get a fedora15 stateless image built and am having some
issues. i am using a 2.6.9 snapshot from 11/09 and have done the basic
copycds, genimage, packimage, and nodeset to tell a node to boot the
newly created stateless image. when the node boots, it fails and drops
to a debug shell. there are a couple different errors i was seeing. i
tracked a couple of the errors to the fact that the /initqueue and
/initqueue-finished directories didn't exist in the initramfs and
manually edited the initramfs to add them. the one error i can not trace
down is one that says

dracut Warning: No root device "1" found

this appears right after it downloads the stateless rootimg and unpacks
it. anyone know what might be going on here and how to fix it?
