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).
