Yes, some initscripts have changed drastically since the patches were generated. In practice, however, the failed patches do not lead to any problems with diskless client booting - I've not found any problems caused by the mis-patched initscripts so far. If you do, please append details to this bug report. The whole idea of patching initscripts during mkdiskless is wrong - it should probably replace the initscripts by installing a 'diskless-initscripts' rpm , or by making initscripts which accept options for diskless environments so they don't need to be patched / replaced. I'll remove the patches from the next release and look into implementing one of the above options. I have not experienced any problems booting with the failed patches. Perhaps the severity of this bug should be lower? In any case, I think creating initscripts that can handle both environments would be the best solution. Thank you. From User-Agent: XML-RPC system-config-netboot-0.1.38-2_FC4 has been pushed for FC4, which should resolve this issue. If these problems are still present in this version, then please make note of it in this bug report. Created attachment 294214 [details]
patch to fix patches for rhel4.7
The patches updated for latest init scripts in RHEL4. This maybe isn't
necessary, but it's much nicer when the patches do not fail and do not leave
ugly .rej files throughout rc.d.
