I tried si 3.5 but there were other problems (see recent threads). Someone suggested running a 2.4 kernel on the golden client while doing the getimage, this didn't make any difference for me either.
I boot each node with a liveCD (ubuntu) and scp this script onto it, and run it (I also need devfs=mount). Would love to see a real solution. On the other hand, it doesn't add much time when you take into account unpacking and connecting a new box. However, I'd love to get mac-address reaping, multicast and one-key-net-install properly working like before with 2.4 kernels. My script: #!/bin/bash # Net Install broken: udev, 2.6 and systemimager don't play nice # To fix, netboot the newly imaged node (causes grub error 15) # Put liveCD in while it installs, reboot to liveCD # On the liveCD do this # [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ scp [EMAIL PROTECTED]:bin/netfix.sh . # [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo ./netfix.sh # place to work mkdir /mnt/test # fix booting mount /dev/hda2 /mnt/test mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/test/boot apt-get install grub echo "(hd0) /dev/hda" > /mnt/test/boot/grub/device.map grub-install --root-directory=/mnt/test /dev/hda umount /mnt/test/boot umount /mnt/test # fix /local scratch space mke2fs -j /dev/hda7 mount /dev/hda7 /mnt/test chmod 1777 /mnt/test umount /mnt/test # reboot shutdown -r now cheers, Jan -- .~. /V\ Jan Groenewald /( )\ www.aims.ac.za ^^-^^ ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is Sponsored by the Better Software Conference & EXPO September 19-22, 2005 * San Francisco, CA * Development Lifecycle Practices Agile & Plan-Driven Development * Managing Projects & Teams * Testing & QA Security * Process Improvement & Measurement * http://www.sqe.com/bsce5sf _______________________________________________ Sisuite-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/sisuite-users
