I don't think you'll be able to image a 64-bit OS onto a client if your boot-standard is compiled 32-bit.  Therefore you need to figure out why you're having kernel compilation problems.
 
Were you compiling SystemImager on a Debian system?  You might want to try a newer release to see if you can get around the compilation problem.

Hi,

I am using systemimager 3.6.2, and the OS being mirrored is linux (debian stable).
Indeed the machines are x86_64, but I've compiled systemimager for i386 (using linux32) as I had kernel compilation problems.

Haven't touched rsync otherwise.

Hi Alex:
 
Can you let us know which version of SystemImager you're using and what OS you're trying to image?
 
I assume this is a x86_64 box since you have "lib64" down there.
 
Also, that doesn't look like the standard rsync command we use - did you happen to have modified it?
 
Cheers,

Subject: [Sisuite-users] rsync failing (unix domain socket problem)

Hi all,

We've been trying to setup systemimager, and I am hitting a problem I haven't managed to solve so far.
I've succesfully pulled an image from a golden client, and am trying to install a new machine booting via PXE

The machine fails after mounting tmpfs, running the following rsync command :
rsync -a --exclude=/proc bin dev etc lib lib64 linuxrc my_modules new_root proc root sbin tmp usr var /new_root/
rsync: pipe: Address family not supported by protocol (97)
rsync error: error in IPC code (code 14) at pipe.c(117)

Which I thought would mean that unix sockets are not compiled in the kernel.
But the kernel's .config shows CONFIG_UNIX=y

What gives ? At that point Im stuck, and would be thankful for any pointer !

Regards,
