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 ------ From: Irvine, Doug - Resources - ICT Services <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> </mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=8946960> <<...OLE_Obj...>> floppy boot problem </mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=8946960> 2004-07-13 08:51 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?
