My experience on redhat 9.0 (think same for other distrib):
many times set high size for tmps in kernel parameters is not
sufficient.
If the whole image is bigger than swap+memory then you get a lack of
disk space error message.
You must create a swap (i setted it in master script). Mind that you
can't create a swap larger than 2G, so, if the image is still bigger,
you have to create more swap partitions (and activate them).
