I started with a brand new linux 9.0 installation and added SystemImager on top of it - just dealing with all the required rpms is a story for another day, but I guess one gets used to it. I ran prepareclient and from a second machine copied it over as a golden client using getimage. So far so good. I then set up that image server to run dhcpd to server a single address and I put that address and the client name I wanted to associated with it in the hosts file in my scripts directory - took me a little while to fully understand this whole relationship, but maybe I'm just slow. 8-)
My next step was to make an installation floppy and boot a 3rd machine. Worked like a champ! Asked the image server for an address, copied over the hosts file and proceeded to copy over the image. Every now and then it would hang and I had to restart the copy - not really sure what was going on here since we're talking a point to point connection via a hub, but that was the least of my problems. Anyhow, I eventually managed to pull over the entire image and with glee I rebooted my newly minted system.
I was immediately presented the error "GRUB Read Error" and was totally stumped as to what I should do next. I found a number of entries in google that mentioned the problem but no clear solutions - at least not to me. Anybody see this before? Any simple answers/solutions?
Not wanting to lose the momentum I had been building, I switched the loader on my original system to LILO, created a new golden image, copied it over and it rebooted fine. Success!
For my next trick I wanted to try updating the new system and for my change I decided to simply make an entry in cron. After doing that I reran prepare client, updated my golden-client (as an aside I was surprised how many files were copied, but that's more of a curiousity). Then I did my updateclient thing on the target system and a bunch of files got pulled over, but when I rebooted no changes to cron.
