I am using the following:

systemimager-server-3.6.3-1
systemimager-client-3.6.3-1
systemimager-i386boot-standard-3.6.3-1
systemimager-common-3.6.3-1
systemimager-i386initrd_template-3.6.3-1

I created a standard flavor cdrom with the following command:

si_mkautoinstallcd --append ramdisk_size=70000 --out-file /tmp/standard.iso

The floppy contains a /local.cfg with values set for HOSTNAME, DOMAINNAME, IMAGESERVER, DEVICE, IPADDR, NETMASK, NETWORK, BROADCAST, GATEWAY, GATEWAYDEV, and IMAGENAME

This setup allows me to use a single CD for booting and customizing on the floppy.

Everything seems fine when booting with the cdrom. the kernel boots, the floppy is read, the network interface is configured, the master file is downloaded, the drive is partitioned and ext3 filesystems are created like so:

hda1 is boot
hda2 is 2mb swap
hda3 is another 2mb swap
and
hda4 is root

the partitions are mounted and the files for the image are downloaded. Then, this:


        umount /a/sys || shellout
        umount /a/proc || shellout
        umount /a/boot || shellout
        umount: /a/boot: Invalid argument
        Killing off running processes.

        write_variables
        <<<<<<<<<<<....
                   This is the SystemImager autoinstall system

        Your autoinstall has failed...

The trouble seems to be that boot is not mounted on root (the boot directory contents don't end up on hda1, but in a boot subdirectory on root). This is why "umount /a/boot" fails.

Any ideas about this? is this a supported configuration (/boot being a filesystem mounted on root)?

If this filesystem/mounting scheme is the problem, then I can change it to something else.

thanks,

p
