I just got a set of 16 DL360s (these are 3GHz IA32 Boxes) and it seemed 
like the perfect environment to get SI going, especially since I've 
already gotten things going very smoothly on a different set of boxes, 
 Wrong (as the mkdhcserver script says) 8-)

The first problem I found and kludged is the locaction of AppConfig.pm. 
 It gets installed in the 5.6.1 branch of the perl tree and after the 
system images downloads to the target it blows up because it's running 
perl 5.8 and can't find the pm.  I manually moved it to the right place 
in the tree and then things were happy, but I'm not sure why my other SI 
installation ever worked because I don't remember moving it.  Does some 
SystemImager script to that and I ran it out of order?

Anyhow, that done the next thing that happened in the client again blew 
up, but this time in a different place.  These systems are configured 
with a Smart Array Controller and so the disks names look different and 
I'm wondering if this may in any way be related to the problem?!?

for example, here's what 'df' shows:

Filesystem           1K-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/cciss/c0d1p1     70009904   1533384  64920192   3% /
/dev/cciss/c0d0p1        98747     24464     69184  27% /boot

The actually text I see on the target's console right after the 
successful file transfer, and this is hand typed so there may be a 
mistake here or there is;

$VAR={};
Probing devices to guess BIOS drives.  This may take a long time
end_request: I/O error, dev 02:00 (floppy), sector 0
ide-floppy driver 0.99.newide
hda: driver not present
df: warning: cannot read table of mounted filesystems

Error; none of the following bootloaders were successfully setup on your

it's soooo close to working and this is so frustrating...  I'm going to 
try inserting some debugging code into the scritps to try and track this 
down, but if anyone knows what's going on it would certainly save me a 
lot of work.
