Re: [Sisuite-users] Flamethrower Can Not Find i386 boot file

[Brian Elliott Finley]

Unfortunately, due to a problem with udpcast (or udpcast + kernel combo), 
it was necessary to _always_ use tmpfs with multicast that version of
SystemImager.  

I'm hoping to change that chunk of code back (tmpfs is optional) with a
new version of udpcast and a our new kernel.
If tmpfs is getting full, and you must use multicast, see the FAQ for
tmpfs options.  You may want to explicitly set the size of your tmpfs
filesystem.  The FAQ section of the SystemImager manual will explain 
this, and give you all the tmpfs options you can use, and how to use 
them.

Cheers, -Brian

Thus spake Tom Kennedy ([EMAIL PROTECTED]):
OK, I did more investigation.   I commented out the lines in
the dhcpd.conf file related to tmpfs, restarted dhcod, pxe and inetd (to
make sure).
Then tried it again, it still tries to use the tmpfs system and it still
gets full.
How do I stop it from using tmpfs?
Tom

Have you started "/etc/init.d/systemimager-server-flamethrower" ?
Do you have the following option set in your dhcpd.conf file?
       option option-143 "9000";

Thus spake Tom Kennedy ([EMAIL PROTECTED]):


Looks like system imager 3.2 and flame thrower 0.1.6.1.  Here is an ls of
my sis-packages directory
-bash-2.05b# ls sis-packages
flamethrower-0.1.6-1.noarch.rpm   stable.list
systemimager-flamethrower-3.2.0-4.noarch.rpm
install                           systemconfigurator-2.0.9-1.noarch.rpm
systemimager-i386boot-standard-3.2.0-4.noarch.rpm
perl-AppConfig-1.52-4.noarch.rpm  systemimager-common-3.2.0-4.noarch.rpm
systemimager-server-3.2.0-4.noarch.rpm

Are you using the current version of SystemImager (3.2.x) and Flamethrower
(0.1.6)?
If not, please see:  http://systemimager.org/download
-Brian
Thus spake Tom Kennedy ([EMAIL PROTECTED]):
I am trying to use flamethrower to install my clients.
They boot up fine from the network, create the file system
and eventually tries to use flame thrower.  I get the following
error from the flamethrower_client
Can not find file /var/lib/systemimager/flamethrower/boot-i386-standard
This occurrs just after the multicast.tar file is transfered(or whatever
it
is doing)
Any help appreciated.  Thanks.
Tom
