In the mean time can you suggest anything to work around the problem??? If there is no workaround possible, I will use sfdisk/fdisk instead of parted and do the partitioning myself in the autoinstall.template file. Is it OK???
Thanks a lot.

3.6.3-1 is the version I am using.... (This is the rpm systemimager-server-3.6.3-1.noarch.rpm) Is that problem present in 3.6.3 also???
The problem I was actually trying to debug is....
1. Golden client has a disk connected as /dev/hda
2. OS installation in a new PC is successful if the new PC has a disk connected as /dev/hda
3. But boot loader (grub) installation fails if the new PC has the disk connected to hdb instead of hda.
4. I have already included /boot/grub/device.map in the "DISK EDITS" section of the autoinstall template file. (/etc/systemimager/autoinstallscript.template)
Note: I have the disk labels in /etc/fstab instead of the the device path.
(i.e.) / instead of /dev/hda1 and swap instead of /dev/hda2 etc
Conclusion: There are 2 issues I am looking into.
Problem #1: "partition does not end in cylinder boundary"
Problem #2: grub installation fails if disk is NOT connected to /dev/hda.

Subject: [Sisuite-users] Partition does not end on a cylinder boundary
Sucessfully installed the OS, but noticed that, when I print the disk partition table using fdisk it says, "partition does not end in a cylinder boundary"
Systemimager uses the "parted" command to do the disk partitioning. I feel "parted" is supposed to round off the partition size to the nearest cylinder boundary, which it is not doing. (Correct me if I am wrong)
How can I fix this...... Please help
