This may be related to some of the other threads, I'm not sure. I
recently upgraded a golden client to a 2.6 kernel and while I can run
getimage just fine, a client installed with this image will panic during
boot. I've tried some of things suggested regarding devfs and the grub
menu, but the only way (so far) that I have found to make things work
reliabley is to boot my golden client into a 2.4 kernel, run getimage,
then image my new client, which will boot into the 2.6 kernel fine.
All the machines are straight debian sarge, systemimager is the latest
installed from systemimager.org.
Is it lilo or grub?
grub. another interesting thing is that after a minimal install, if I
run getimage, I can get clones to boot ok. As soon as I start
configuring them with "real world" stuff (ldap and nfs mounts for
example), then I run getimage again, the clones will panic during boot.
Is the image:/dev on the imageserver populated?
no
My previous image is like that (lilo + populated).
I haven't tried switching from grub to lilo, I know that has typically
been the fix for many of these issues.
But the weird thing, it seems like as long as the golden client is
running on a 2.4 kernel when getimage is run, the clients don't care.
They boot into 2.6 right from the beginning.
Perhaps I could populate /dev with null, console and hda, and see if
that works...
cheers,
Jan
