Thanks Andrea, I will endeavour to test it.

When I run si_prepareclient --server xxxxx
I get in /etc/systemconfig/systemconfig.conf:

# more /etc/systemconfig/systemconfig.conf
[BOOT]
ROOTDEV = /dev/sda2
BOOTDEV = /dev/sda
DEFAULTBOOT = systemimager

[KERNEL0]
LABEL = systemimager
PATH = /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.24-16-generic
INITRD = /boot/initrd.img-2.6.24-16-generic
APPEND =  ro single

This seems ok. Anyway, the problem was in the "embedded"
systemconfig.conf created by si_updateclient --autoinstall.

where

This should work.


It does not seem to update the grub settings:


The /dev/ram stuff seems to still be a problem (sorry I did not
post this more complete report right away):



# si_updateclient --server ubuntu-i386.cscf --autoinstall

This command will configure this host to be auto re-installed by
SystemImager at the next reboot!!!

Are you sure to continue? (y / N)? y

Here is a list of available flavors:

 gl.2008.spring

Which flavor would you like to use? [standard]: gl.2008.spring

Due to a bug in xfs_freeze, the following command might produce a segmentation
fault when /boot/grub is not in an XFS filesystem. This error is harmless and
can be ignored.

This is the contents of the device map /boot/grub/device.map.
Check if this is correct or not. If any of the lines is incorrect,
fix it and re-run the script `grub-install'.

Done!



==============

Perhaps the policy is not to change grub settings anymore. I know in
version 3.8.2 it use to work (albeit I used debs on amd64 as converted from
rpms, at least for the initrd component).
