Title: RE: Ramdisk size too small? Getting errors
Have you tried passing it manually at boot time?  i.e. linux ramdisk_size=...
 
Cheers,

    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!
    Jason
