[sisuite-users] UYOK fails when loading hotplug

[Gerasimatos, D. V (343K) <Dim...@jp...>]

My colleagues and I have been hitting a wall for several weeks now, which is:


  1.  Standard kernel loads, but does not have the drivers we need
  2.  UYOK creates something that looks like it should work, but bombs out when loading hot plug with a dereference error.

The workaround so far is to remove /sbin/hotplug from the initrd.

Is there a fix to this?!

Also more importantly:

Is System Imager a dead project?

I see some people splintered off to do SALI and there has not been an official release in forever. Even the web page took some time to come back up. Should I be cutting my losses and moving on? System Imager has been a great tool for me to use for years now…

Dimitri i can only speak for SALI.  We have been releasing SALI via freecode:
   * http://freecode.com/projects/sali (1.5.6)
   * still updating the docs via https://subtrac.sara.nl/oss/sali


We use is to install our clusters. So it is still alive and support modern hardware.  The only part that we did not cover yet is SystemConfigurator.  We have made some simple shell script functions to implement disk partition.  We steadily implement more shell functions and improve SALI.
