[Sisuite-users] Re: error in building golden client

[Mark Seger]

Here's some more detail...  The one file I inspected on the server, 
/etc/systemconfigurator/mkautoinstallscript.conf was corrupted!  It 
contained nothing like the image on the client and appeared to have a 
lot of binary data in the beginning.  As it turns out the client I was 
uploading had some weirdly linked directories, but the 
mkautoinstallscript.conf was valid on it.  That leads me to say it 
sounds like a problem with rsync since that's the guy responsible for 
copying the data, but...

I know SystemImager can't double check the integrity of every app it 
uses, but I wanted to at least let people know this happened to me and 
if this happens to others as well it might be worth addign some 
additional checks to make sure that file was copied intact since so much 
depends on it.

Just trying to head off some support issued before they occur....

I just tried uploading an image and got an error.  Here's the end of 
what I saw on my screen:

You have chosen method 1 for assigning IP addresses.

Are you satisfied? ([y]/n):

not well-formed (invalid token) at line 1, column 0, byte 0 at 
/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi/XML/Parser.pm 
line 185

I guess I'll try prepareclient and getimage again, but this looks like 
an opportunity for more validation somewhere.
