Andrea,
That worked!

It was able to image the box with no more errors.  I want to thank you
for your help and time spent figuring this out.  

Just to recap some of the things that didn't work right so you or one of
your team can look into it in the future:

Si_mkautoinstallcd --append doesn't seem to work.  The options that are
appended don't seem to be read when you boot the cd.  So I had to
manually specify linux ramdisk_size=50000.  I have already submitted a
bug for this.  

The lvm_group was not being put into the autoinstallscript.conf file and
needed to be manually entered.  

The blockdev command was failing and kicking me back out to a prompt
when systemimager had all of the information needed.  So I removed the
"shellout" options.  

When I ran si_mkautoinstallscript I then had to re-add the lvm_group to
the autoinstallscript.conf file.  

Once again, thanks for your help!
Jason

Jason,

as I said in a previous mail you have to add manually the attribute
lvm_group="VolGroup00" to /dev/sda2 partition:

I mean you've to change the xml
/var/lib/systemimager/<image_name>/etc/systemimager/autoinstallscript.co
nf
as following:

<config>
  <disk dev="/dev/sda" label_type="msdos" unit_of_measurement="MB">
     <!--
       This disk's output was brought to you by the partition tool
 "parted",
       and by the numbers 4 and 5 and the letter Q.
     -->
     <part  num="1"  size="101.944"  p_type="primary"  p_name="-"
 flags="boot" />
     <part  num="2"  size="*"  p_type="primary"  p_name="-"
 flags="lvm" lvm_group="VolGroup00" />
   </disk>
...

Then run again `si_mkautoinstallscript --image <image_name> --force`.
After this I hope it'll work... ;-)

Then we'll try to investigate why si_prepareclient in the golden client
has not correctly cloned your lvm config.

Regards,
-Andrea
