Hello all

we have problems with systemimager and systemconfigurator:

We started with the shipped debian 40 version 3.6.3-xxx . The Golden
Client is a ubuntu system 7.04. The ubuntu systemimager doesn't work, so
I installed the debian packages (client). I could create an image
without problems and the install of a new client works fine except the
grub install:

The problem was the ubuntu kernel uses ide-scsi and libata? and the disk
is *sda* (hardware is still PATA). The BOEL kernel see the disk *hda*.
This is now problem during the image restoring process, but
"systemconfigurator/Grub.pm doesn't work with that.

I did a lot of google searches and heard about new the versions, so I
moved to the latest 3.9.2 + systemconfigurator 2.2.9 on  the server and
client. Now when I crate an image I got the following error on the *client:*
-------------------------------------------------------
Automatically create configuration file for systemconfigurator:
  >> /etc/systemconfig/systemconfig.conf

/usr/sbin/si_prepareclient line 729.
WARNING: unable to detect boot device!
WARNING: coulnd't create file /etc/systemconfig/systemconfig.conf
(needed by systemconfigurator)

----------------------------------------------------------------------


I will get an image an when I install it on a new client the autoinstall
script dies with this messages:

get_arch
Partitioning /dev/sda...

It can not find the sda because it is hda (PATA)

Thanks for any help
