Hi guys, we are getting a lot more 64 bit machines, and the automatic
installation of systemimager is highly desired. We use Debian (Sarge)
and prepareclient and getimage work properly, but the last step of the
systemimager install (in our configuration) is to chroot into the
filesystem and run some commands (like lilo).
These commands fail of course because my Systemimager install CDs have a
32 bit kernel and all the binaries on the system are built for 64 bit.
I have been manually `fixing' these systems with a 64bit liveCD (gentoo
and Ubuntu provide these), so I still have an accelerated install
process, but it is less than automatic.
So I am working on installing the super new bleeding edge version of
systemimager or at least generating an autoinstall CD. There seem to
have been a lot of changes. I have a few questions.
1) Can I use my existing systemimager install server (2.0.1-3woody0)
with with an autoinstallCD created with the newest subversion release of
systemimager? I figured since it is just rsync, it should work. Please
correct me if I am wrong!
2) Is there a semi stable build I could use? After building my first CD
I found all the rsync commands failed because /lib64 was not in the
LD_LIBRARY_PATH. Perusing the scripts and replacing everying instance
of "rsync" with "LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/lib64:lib rsync" allowed me to get
past that point, but now it appears to crash in the get_boel_binaries
line of rcS (not sure if I need that either).
3) Is there something I should be reading? There are a lot of docs out
there, but I'm not sure how applicable they are to what I am trying to
do (make an autoinstall CD based on the newest build and hopefully it
will have the right SATA driver too)
I appreciate any help! Thank you!
