Hi,
After trying to use my RPM on a CentOS-6.2 system, I'm facing some issues that
are hard to fix, thus I'm asking before starting to try to make a update so it
works on CentOS-6.2
1st of all, I've already made some fix to systemimager so it works on
CentOS-6.2, unfortunately, I'm stuck with systemconfigurator which is not
supported on CentOS-6.2 (kernel-2.6) and therfore disabled with no equivalent
in systemimager. Because of this, the bootloader is not written to disk after
the imaging, and therfore, the imaged system is unable to boot.
So the actual situation is the following:
- systemimager-4.1.99.svn4568/lib/SystemImager/Server.pm:1788
SystemConfigurator deprecated and nothing to do its job (configure and write
bootloader, ...)
- systemconfigurator-2.2.11-1/lib/SystemConfig/{Initrd/RH.pm, Boot*, ???} need
to be fixed to have kernel 2.6+ properly handeled (initramfs instead of initrd,
dracut instead of initrd (compatible script exist for the moment), ...
So now, I need help on having the ##SYSTEMCONFIGURATOR_PRE## and
#SYSTEMCONFIGURATOR_POST## steps working in SystemImager. Works need to be done
on the autoinstallscript and in systemconfigurator (or equivalent).
For now here are my patches for the latest systeminstaller to be able to deploy
an image:
- systemimager_initrd_coreutils_rul.patch
Small Makefile fix (more clean)
- systemimager_initrd_mklib_bef.patch
Avoid overwriting libs that are alreadin installed in build_dir/ This prevent
libmount-2.10 from CentOS-6.2 to overwrite libmount 2.12 from util-linux, and
thus have mount, blkid and such to run instead of failing with wrong lib
version.
- systemimager_initrd_rul.patch
Fix destination lib path.
- systemimager_initrd_udev_rul.patch
Disable systemd, libdir=/lib and use $MAKE
- systemimager_initrd_util_linux_rul.patch
Use $MAKE install instead of manualy copy binaries. If make install is not
used, the libtool wrapper is copied instead of the real lib.
- systemimager_server_pm.patch
Fix that may be temporary. Right now, if the 1st partition inside the extended
partition start at the same block, parted returns an error code. This fix avoid
this by adding one block to the partition created inside the extended
partition. Far from being a good fix, it makes at least things work. (fix
commented in the patch)
- systemimager_sysvinit_initrd_rul.patch
Added a test to avoid failing when trying to copy /lib/ld* and no files are
found.
- systemimager_util_linux_rul.patch
Enhanced configure step.
Thanks a lot for your help.

Objet : [sisuite-users] RE : Building SystemImager on CentOS 6.2?
This is wired, as I'me sure I've faced the not updated kernel config issue
(especially the compression method) and using my srpm on my centos-6.2, Id'
doesn't ask for this.
I've re-uploaded my src.rpm. please check with this rpm and all the sources.
CentOS-6.2 and RHEL-6.2 should be very similar and shoud build the same way.
(more over, this issue is related to the rpm, not the system. question is asked
about things related to the rpm...)
http://olivier.lahaye1.free.fr/SOURCES/ grab the external sources here an copy
this in /usr/src
Make sure you're using those sources when building and not something else
downloaded elsewhere that could supersede some of those tarballs.
http://olivier.lahaye1.free.fr/SRPMS/systemimager-4.2.0-0.6svn4568.el6.src.rpm
Install this and build it as root (I know it is bad, but I hadn't time to fix
the mknod issue).
Cheers,
Olivier.

Thanks a lot! I grabbed the missing linux_2.6.34.1.orig.tar.gz file now.
Unfortunately the build process still asks unwarranted questions. This is what I
did:
1. I have checked out SVN trunk revision 4568 from
https://systemimager.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/systemimager/trunk
2. In the trunk/ directory I do: make source_tarball
3. Then I build it: cd tmp; rpmbuild -ta systemimager-4.3.0.tar.bz2
However, during the build process the kernel wants to be reconfigured:

So something must be wrong. I don't why I have to reconfigure the kernel whereas
Olivier doesn't. FYI, my build host is RHEL6.2 (fully updated).
Thanks for any help,
Ole
