I've installed systemimager 3.9.0 via the RPMs provided @ SourceForge on
a mostly stock RHEL5 server and client(s). When trying to prepare an
image I get the errors below. The system that is running
si_prepareclient has a single SATA disk & partition (sda/sda1) and a
single CD/DVD (scd0). There is no seperate /boot partition.
Output of "si_prepareclient --server xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx --no-rsyncd" :

WARNING: The rsync daemon was not started. You must run
si_prepareclient
again, without the -n option, before you can pull this

Your client has been successfully prepared. Boot kernel (copied from

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Here is the offending section containing the line numbers referenced in
the output, but I don't think that not having a device mounted as /boot
should cause problems (although I can barely read perl and I could be
wrong) :
----------------------------------------------------------------------
711 # Detect root and boot devices from the mount output.
712 my $root_dev = (split(/ /, (grep(/ \/ /, reverse @_))[0]))[0];
713 unless ($root_dev) {
714 print STDERR "WARNING: unable to detect root device!\n";
715 return -1;
716 }
717 my $boot_dev = (split(/ /, (grep(/ \/boot /, reverse
@_))[0]))[0];
718 if ($boot_dev =~ /^\/dev\/[hs]d/) {
719 # Standard disk naming (hd*, sd*).
720 $boot_dev =~ s/[0-9]+$//;
721 } else {
722 # Hardware RAID device.
723 $boot_dev =~ s/p[0-9]+$//;
724 }
725 unless ($boot_dev) {
726 print STDERR "WARNING: unable to detect boot device!\n";
727 return -1;
728 }
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Any insight/info into what the problem is or how to fix it? I haven't
done any major configuration as far as systemimager is concerned, just
basic configuration as outlined by the quick start guide @
http://wiki.systemimager.org. I haven't installed the -bittorrent or
-flamethrower packages, and I haven't configured the the machines for
network or PXE installation. I intend to use si_mkautoinstallcd and do
the initial machine imaging in person.
