Category: systemimager-server Group: v3.6.3 Status: Closed Resolution: Fixed Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Assigned to: Bernard Li (bernardli) Summary: si_mkautoinstallcd (3.6.3) creates unbootable CD image Initial Comment: Hello, I'm running 3.6.3 on CentOS4.3 (RHEL4 update 3 as well), with the stock installed kernel (2.6.9-34.EL). I can create a successful golden image on the server, however si_mkautoinstallcd creates a CD image that is not fully bootable. It seems that the default RAM disk that is created is not big enough. Bootup messages (lots of repetition) looks like this: ---start--- ram0: rw=0, want=34444, limit=32768 Buffer I/O error on device ram0, logical block xxxxx attempt to access beyond end of device ---end--- For each instance of the above trio of lines, the "block xxxxx" value seems to increment by one or two, until of course the whole process comes to a halt. Is there any way to fix this, or do I have to try out 3.7.2 instead?

DuChene (sad) Date: 2006-08-21 21:19 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=2347 I can report that the --append "STRING" stuff does indeed work correctly to solve this problem in the 3.7.3 release as I had the same issue this weekend with a mkautoinstallcd iso (access beyond end of device when booting). I was able to solve it by passing the appropriate size of ram disk size and tmpfs size when I built a mkautoinstallcd via the append option. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Date: 2006-08-21 20:44 Message: Logged In: NO I think I must have the same problem. So where exactly do I need to add the line "ramdisk_size=65536" into the script?

It was reported that the --append for si_mkautoinstallcd command was broken, so you'll need to manually modify the si_mkautoinstallcd script. This issue is fixed in the development version 3.7.3 though. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100259&aid=1492591&group_id=259 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
