Oups, just found a small bug. It looks like the autoinstallscript.conf is
incompletely generated by oscar. If this is the case, the
si_mkautoinstallscript crash instead of printing an error. Looking at it:
log from OSCAR svn (oscar-6.0.5r9073-1): just at the end of image generation.
Image build finished.
Added Disk Table for oscarimage based on
/usr/share/oscar/oscarsamples/cciss.disk
Running: /usr/sbin/si_mkautoinstallscript -quiet --autodetect-disks -image
oscarimage -force -ip-assignment static -post-install reboot ... Use of
uninitialized value in numeric eq (==) at
/usr/lib/systemimager/perl/SystemImager/Server.pm line 622, <$TEMPLATE> line
165.

done
Maybe it is related to my disks /dev/cciss/c0d0{,p{1,5,6}} <part> tags missing
in disk section.
following files are attached:
/var/lib/systemimager/images/oscarimage/etc/systemimager/autoinstallscript.conf
/usr/share/oscar/oscarsamples/cciss.disk
/usr/lib/systemimager/perl/SystemImager/Server.pm:610
DB<27> p Dumper $xml_config->{disk}->{$dev}
$VAR1 = {
'label_type' => 'msdos',
'dev' => '/dev/cciss/c0d0',
'part' => {},
'unit_of_measurement' => 'MB'
};
'part' is empty => line 612: $highest_p_or_e_part_num is never defined, then
boom.
On oscar side: I need to check how to fix the generation of
autoinstallscript.conf, on your side, you need to report no partitions error
message or the such.
Best regards.
Olivier.
