Hello, I am using SystemImager 3.0.1 to setup RedHat 9 on a number of identical servers (all with an Intel SE7501WV2 IDE motherboard), using PXE boot.
A few things don't work quite as they should: - the generated .master shell script creates the swap partition with id 0x83 instead of 0x82 Work-around: replace 'ext2' by 'linux-swap' in the corresponding parted mkpart line - the systemconfigurator step toward the end of the imaging takes way too long (several minutes), and issues many floppy drives errors: Probing devices to guess BIOS drives. This may take a long time. end_request: I/O error, dev 02:00 (floppy), sector 0 end_request: I/O error, dev 02:00 (floppy), sector 0 end_request: I/O error, dev 02:00 (floppy), sector 2 etc. df: Warning: cannot read table of mounted file systems etc. These servers have no floppy drive and the floppy controller is disabled in the BIOS. I could not find the perl script responsible for this probing. Any suggestion? Work-around? I am using systemconfigurator-2.0.7-1 Also these servers have an Intel Service Partition in /dev/hda1 (a 40MB DOS/DOS-like partition with id 0x12). The best (only?) way to keep it (in particular keep it bootable) is to make a raw image of a /dev/hda1 and then copy it over the clone's /dev/hda1, with dd. If boel included dd, I could do it automatically in the cloning shell script!
