[sisuite-users] RE : Building SystemImager on CentOS 6.2?
This is wired, as I'me sure I've faced the not updated kernel config issue (especially the compression method) and using my srpm on my centos-6.2, Id' doesn't ask for this. I've re-uploaded my src.rpm. please check with this rpm and all the sources. CentOS-6.2 and RHEL-6.2 should be very similar and shoud build the same way. (more over, this issue is related to the rpm, not the system. question is asked about things related to the rpm...) http://olivier.lahaye1.free.fr/SOURCES/ grab the external sources here an copy this in /usr/src Make sure you're using those sources when building and not something else downloaded elsewhere that could supersede some of those tarballs. http://olivier.lahaye1.free.fr/SRPMS/systemimager-4.2.0-0.6svn4568.el6.src.rpm Install this and build it as root (I know it is bad, but I hadn't time to fix the mknod issue).

I've made a bit of progress towards building the SI RPMs on an RHEL6.2 server, but I didn't make it to the goal yet: 1. I copied the downloaded sources from /root/rpmbuild/BUILD/systemimager-4.3.0/initrd_source/src/ to the permanent place /usr/src/. Strangely, today the correct e2fsprogs can be downloaded successfully (it was absent yesterday). 2. The next missing download is a kernel source file http://download.systemimager.org/pub/linux/linux_2.6.34.1.orig.tar.gz. So I grabbed a similar file from http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/ and renamed it with the .orig (probably a no-no!). The kernel.org version seems to build, but I had to answer a bunch of configure questions. 3. Next failure occurs when building parted-2.3: ... checking for dm_task_create in -ldevmapper... no configure: error: libdevmapper could not be found, but is required for the --enable-device-mapper option, which is enabled by default. Either disable device-mapper support with --disable-device-mapper or download and install device-mapper from: http://sources.redhat.com/dm/ FYI, our RHEL6.2 server does have the device-mapper 32- and 64-bit RPMs installed with /lib/libdevmapper.so.1.02.

Re: [sisuite-users] RE : Building SystemImager on CentOS 6.2?
We want to eliminate the need for mknod, definitely. I would still consider SVN trunk to be in a testing state. Most of the intelligence is the same, but the way the autoinstall client binaries and kernel are built is a bit different. Please let me know how it goes. -Brian On 06/14/2012 09:30 AM, LAHAYE Olivier wrote: I've built the rpm on CentOS-6.2. The resulting rpms seems ok.

If you guys could attach the patch here I can take a stab at checking it in. Olivier, would you be interested in getting commit access to the SVN repo?

Hi SystemImager guys, We would like to build SystemImager on RedHat 6.2 / CentOS 6.2. I got the latest SI rev. 4568 from SVN by: svn checkout https://systemimager.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/systemimager/trunk (the website http://www.systemimager.org/ is still sadly incomplete). However, additional tweaks seem to be required for CentOS 6.2, see http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_name=01EDEEAE5DA8584CAAD628AA5B06179A048D471F%40EXDAG0-A3.intra.cea.frforum_name=sisuite-users My RPM build crashes because of a download reference to an obsolete e2fsprogs version. Questions: * Does anyone have complete and detailed SI build instructions for CentOS 6.2? * Can anyone with write access to SVN commit the changes required for 6.2?
