Hey all, I am running 3.2.3 w/flamethrower on a cluster of Dell
workstations. They only have 256 MB RAM each, and when I run the
flamethrower autoinstall, the install proceeds until the image is exactly 209MB
into the download. At this point the hard drive light comes on for about
10 seconds and then .. nothing. The image d/l status is still on
the screen, no error msgs, and the computer is not locked (I can ctrl-c to
busybox). I originally thought the problem was not providing enough
swap/tmpfs space and I modified the boot files to give as much room as
possible. Still no dice. I went as far as modifying the /etc/init.d/functions
script to force the image download to go straight to the hard drive, which DOES
work, although I have to throttle the d/l speed down to 5mb. I think the issue may be related to the fact there is only
256MB of ram. However, I have read many entries where users have been
applying images of over 2GB successfully. I doubt they are all
using servers that have 2+GB of ram. What am I missing? Thanks in advance, ---Ryan |
