I tried with both sel- built iso and official iso in stateless boot.

This used to work for me with 2.2.2. something broken here. I'm not really familiar with what do "liveiso:/" and "live:/" mean or what the exact problem is but I've tried to set ovirt-node in pxe, I used a pxeboot script (taken from another rpm since I couldn't find one in ovirt-node package), the script created for me the needed files (ramdisk, kernel and cfg files), and when I've booted from that pxe entry - I found myself in the same problem, got into that shell with the same error message - only my "liveiso:/" pointed to a different path. I solved that by changing the "liveiso:/blah/blah/blah/ovirt-node.iso" in the kernel path to "live:/ovirt-node.iso", for a backup I copied the ovirt- node.iso file to the same directory where the aforementioned 3 files reside, it worked! > > In my own build, the boot dropped into an emergency shell complaining about missing /usr/libexec/ovirt-auto-install file. I know I chatted with Mike Burns for a while yesterday regarding this. This is a new build off tag ovirt- node-2.2.3 but the problem seems persisting. > > - David > > >> Date: Wed, 22 Feb 2012 11:37:08 -0500 >> From: Joey Boggs&lt;jboggs(a)redhat.com&gt; >> To: Michel van Horssen&lt;mvanhorssen(a)vluchtelingenwerk.nl&gt; >> Cc: users(a)ovirt.org >> Subject: Re: [Users] Node ISO problem >> Message-ID:<4F4519B4.9020803@redhat.com> >> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed >> >> On 02/22/2012 11:30 AM, Michel van Horssen wrote: >>> Hi, >>> >>> Took me some time before I had time to install the new Ovirt.
