Hi

 

I’m using the latest development version 3.7.3-1 of Systemimager to image Dell 850 machines running RHEL4 ES. I’ve got the system booting and running the install script via PXE. The script gets to the partitioning section before failing at the blockdev command as follows:

 

Blockdev –rereadpt /dev/sda || shellout

SCSI device sda: 312500000 512-byte hdwr sectors (160000 MB)

SCSI device sda: drive cache: write back

 sda: unknown partition table

BLKRRPART: Input/output error

 

If I comment out the blockdev command in the script and rerun it I get further, partitioning occurs successfully but since I am using LVM the script tries to load the device mapper driver and fails as follows:

 

insmod: cannot insert ‘/lib/modules/2.6.9-5.ELsmp/kernel/drivers/md/dm-mod.ko’:

File exists (-1): File exists

modprobe: failed to load module dm-mod

 

Does anyone know what causes the above errors and how to fix them? The dm-mod.ko file is present in the initrd.img.

 

Thanks

 

Zubin
