Maybe my problem is similar... My Golden Client have /boot mounted at /dev/hda1 (noauto) When I made the image I took care of mounting it first. After I install the image at a Client using dhcp and pxe, the installer takes care of partitioning, formatting and tranfering all files, but at the end It fails: (transcripting by a picture I took from the screen :) ) Probing devices to get BIOS drivers. df: Warning: cannot read table of mounted filesystems Could not find device for /boot umount /a/work || shellout umount /a/proc || shellout umount /a/dev || shellout umount /a/boot: Invalid argument Killing off runing processes killall: udp-receiver: no process killed ... write variables <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< A long paragraph about install fail rebooting hangs at the grub stage something I made some hacking and solved the problem by doing: # make /boot # cp -rp /a/boot/* /boot # mount /dev/hda1 /a/boot # cp /boot/* /a/boot # /a/sbin/grub ----no-curses and installing grub... After reboot I had to change the hostname, and apparently everything is runnig ok. Does Systemimager has problems with grub? Forgive-me if my questions may be stupid, but I am really a newby in remote instalations (and even in dhcp).
