Hi Marc --

cc'ing the list this time...

I want to get EL5 OCFS2 shared-root working with
the latest preview rpms.

Here's what I downloaded from download.atix.de:

    * ocfs2-tools-debuginfo-1.4.1-1.el5
    * ocfs2-tools-1.4.1-1.el5
    * ocfs2-tools-devel-1.4.1-1.el5
    * ocfs2console-1.4.1-1.el5
    * comoonics-pythonosfix-py-0.1-2
    * comoonics-bootimage-listfiles-1.3-8.el5
    * SysVinit-comoonics-2.86-14.atix.1.i386
    * comoonics-cluster-py-0.1-17
    * comoonics-cdsl-py-0.2-11
    * comoonics-bootimage-1.4-19
    * comoonics-cs-py-0.1-56
    * comoonics-bootimage-initscripts-1.4.9.rhel5
    * comoonics-bootimage-extras-ocfs2-0.1-3
    * comoonics-bootimage-extras-xen-0.1-5

I did not find any version of this that was mentioned
in the how-to:

    * comoonics-release-0.1-1

and I couldn't find an el5 version of this, just rhel5:

    * comoonics-bootimage-initscripts-1.4.9.rhel5

and installing the rpms above, I got failed dependencies
for:

comoonics-bootimage-initscripts-rhel

and

comoonics-bootimage-initscripts-rhel5

and couldn't find these in download.atix.de

Last, I was interested in looking at your

/opt/atix/comoonics-bootimage/mkinitrd

script but it doesn't seem to be contained in any
of the rpms. 

Help appreciated!
