Doug,

I am using Systemimager 3.2.3 with RHEL 3. The hardware is COMPAQ DESKPRO.

I used mkautoinstalldiskette to build a boot floppy disk. Then I added the
local.cfg file on the floppy disk. After rebooting client host, I got the
following error messages:

start_network
SIOCSIFADDR: No such device
SIOCSIFNETMASK: No such device
SIOCSIFBRDADDR: No such device

I searched the mailing list archive and found that you met the same problems
before. Did you resolve this problems? Or other people how to resolve it.

Thanks,
Hong

 Hi,
  
 I hope you can help me. I am trying to use SystemImager to provide a backup
 solution for a network of 13 Redhat ES 2.1 servers.
  
 All the servers are HP DL360-G3
  
 I have built an image server and taken an image from one of the other
 servers.
  
 I built a boot floppy with mkautoinstalldiskette and configured the
 local.cfg as follows:
 
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
 --
 HOSTNAME=client
 
 DOMAINNAME=oxfordshire.gov.uk
 
 DEVICE=eth0
 
 IPADDR=xx.yy.zz.8
 
 NETWORK=xx.yy.zz.0
 
 NETMASK=255.255.254.0
 
 BROADCAST=xx.yy.zz.255
 
 GATEWAY=xx.yy.zz.254
 
 GATEWAYDEV=eth0
 
 IMAGESERVER=xx.yy.zz.12
 
 IMAGENAME=client
 
 
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
 -
 
 When I try to boot the server, the kernel loads but I"m unable to start the
 rebuild as I get the following errors:
 
 SIOCSIFADDR:  no such device
 NETMASK:  no such device
 BRDADDR:   no such device
 
 The interesting part is once the boot sequence has stopped I can set an ip
 address on eth0 with:
 
 ifconfig eth0 xx.yy.zz.8
 
 and then ping the image server.
 
 I am thinking this may have something to do with the gigabyte interface not
 being ready from the module load. The next thing I"m going to try is
adding:
 
 ETHER_SLEEP=35
 
 to the local.cfg file. Does anybody have any ideas or experiences with this
 problem?
  
 Thanks for your help.
