There should be a rhel5 channel available. It's not yet official but it proves 
to be quite stable. We are right now in the last steps before qa-ing.
Use the following yum.repositories.

[comoonics-preview]
name=Packages for the comoonics shared root cluster
baseurl=http://download.atix.de/yum/comoonics/redhat-el5/preview/noarch/
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=http://download.atix.de/yum/comoonics/comoonics-RPM-GPG.key

[comoonics-preview-i386]
name=Packages for the comoonics shared root cluster
baseurl=http://download.atix.de/yum/comoonics/redhat-el5/preview/$arch
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=http://download.atix.de/yum/comoonics/comoonics-RPM-GPG.key

[comoonics-addons]
name=Addon Packages for utilities
baseurl=http://download.atix.de/yum/comoonics/redhat-el5/addons/noarch/
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=http://download.atix.de/yum/comoonics/comoonics-RPM-GPG.key

That will be anounced recently on www.opensharedroot.org.

you can ignore that.

We are aware of that *warning* but you can savely ignore it.

We did not implement it yet. Feel free to do it. Use the latest rpms and adapt 
the code. 
Please edit against them. And send either patches or the changed files 
directly to me.

Find more information here:
http://www.opensharedroot.org/Members/marc/blog/comoonics-bootimage/concept-of-integrating-iscsi-support-to-latest-bootimage
You should be able to add comments or just send me an email on what you think.

If you need more bins or rpms included in the initrd (which I expect to be) 
have a look at /etc/comoonics/bootimage/files.initrd.d 
and /etc/comoonics/bootimage/rpms.initrd.d.

Have fun and thanks (hope you'll enjoy the open-sharedroot concept as much as 
we do)
Marc.
