Hi all,
I'm running systemimager 3.6.3 on both my server and my client. The server is a RedHat 9 machine. The client is a RH4 + LVM machine.
I've captured an image of my client by running si_prepareclient on the client, then si_getimage on the server.
The way I'm setup is in the past I would create a boot cd, and for any machine that I wanted to image I would connect it to the image server via crossover cable, then boot up the client and it would grab the image I wanted.
While trying to image a new machine with the RH4 image I get the following error after booting from the Cd…
RAMDISK: incomplete write (-28 != 32768) 16777216
VFS: Mounted root (etx2 filesystem) readonly.
Freeing unused kernel memory: 192k freed
attempt to access beyond end of device
ram0: rw=0, want=32776, limit=32768
Ext2- fs error (device ram0): ext2_get_inode: unable to read inode block - inode 293, block=16387
Warning: unable to open an initial console…. etc
From searching online to similar problems I found that I need to pass the following arguments when creating my boot cd.
Si_mkautoinstallcd --append "vga=extended initrd=initrd.img root=/dev/ram ramdisk_size=43000 tmpfs_size=1990M console=ttyS0,9600 console=tty1 console=ttyS0,9600" --out-file custom.iso
This works fine, and when I view the custom.iso file I can see that the syslinux.cfg file has my appends listed. However, when I boot from the CD I keep getting the same error.
Thoughts anyone?
Thanks!
