571c1bae2d Allows diskless nodes to boot via other interfaces aside of primary boot interface, ie. provides ethernet failover.
1) In initrd, bring up aside from main interface (genimage -i option) also other interfaces (-r option).
2) /etc/resolv.conf creation needed to be rewritten, othewise it gets confused by several dhcpcd records.
3) Fill database with MAC addresses for all interfaces. Since it't not possible to have several stanzas of the same name in dhcpd.conf, we need to define unique "alias" for every interface. For example, for host "host1" we will add '00:1A:64:5D:1B:84!host1e0|00:1A:64:5D:1B:86!host1e1' to macs table. Of course, this aliases have to be defined in DNS, otherwise makedhcp command will not use this aliases:
/etc/hosts:
10.217.249.232  host1   host1e0 host1e1
Since this are aliases (need not be nessesary), both interfaces get the same IP address during initrd, but this doesn't break anything.
  a) blades - changed getmacs function to gather all MAC addresses. Which interfaces we are interested in are defined in noderes.installnic or noderes.primarynic as "eth0|eth1".
  b) all other - TODO. We have only 8 non-blade nodes, so we fill database manually.
Backwards compatible:
      - if there is only one interface in noderes.installnic, getmacs function gathers only this one MAC address
      - if we run genimage without -r option, only one interface is brought up

0e6c8deec3 This patch modifies sles/genimage script to first run "cvs update" in sles directory and if something happens (some files get updated), then it runs (execs) genimage script with the same options once again.
Purpose is to 1) keep track of changes in CVS, so force users to do any changes via CVS system and 2) avoid malicious behaviour of users.
I don't want to break trunk, so it's commented out.

d138e18555 Added {profile}.repolist functionality.
{profile}.repolist contains list of custom repositories (directory with rpms). Repositories will be added to the image before package installation. This makes possible to automatically install (by defining in {profile}.pkglist) packages that are not contained in standard distribution repository.
Example sles/compute.repolist provided.

0d56a54ddf Added {profile}.postinstall functionality. Idea is to generate image automatically, allowing user to install custom packages or change some files in the image during image generation phase, thus making image generation human-error prone.
{profile}.postinstall script is run after all packages from $profile.pkglist are installed. This makes possible to do any kind of magic with the image.
Example sles/compute.postinstall provided.

65af2acb5d Accept comments in {profile}.pkglist and {profile}.exlist.
This can be useful to mark what is which package for, who requested it etc.
