Hey folks,

So I guess I sorta solved my issue of yesterday...  Well, at least I've
gotten further.

Here's my situation.

I used the mkbootpackage to make myself a directory (ben5) in
/usr/share/systemimager/i386/boot/ that contains kernel, initrd.img, and
boel-binaries.tar.gz.  I compiled my own kernel because the one that
came with the SI suite just didn't do it for me at all.  

On a prosppective client, I install fedora and then lilo, and get it so
it can boot.   I use the same kernel I've got on my golden server on
this client to verify that the kernel is compiled well enough to boot
the machine.

I run 'updateclient --autoinstall --server myserver' and it goes and
gets all the relevant files.  I muck with lilo.conf a bit (b/c the one
as generated doesn't work right - another story) and reboot. 

My boot gets a ways along, but when it gets to an rsync line, it
segfaults.  The return code of rsync's segfault is 139.  When I poked
around a bit, I found that ping also segfaults, same exit code.  

Because of these segfaults, certain sections of the boot script don't
finish, and I'm left with a system that fauls its install.

Any thoughts?
