Did you use UYOK to generate your ramdisk?  Did you set an appropriate number 
for the kernel APPEND line for ramdisk_size like "ramdisk_size=80000"?
 
Also, can you post your node's /boot/grub/menu.lst?
 
Cheers,

P.S. It would probably be better if you test the code from trunk rather than 
3.7.3 since Andrea fixed a lot of 2.4 kernel related issues in trunk.

Subject: [Sisuite-users] crc error booting imaged system



Just in case someone else has already dealt with this issue, I want to describe 
my latest problem with 2.4 kernel/RHEL3 and si 3.7.3 (maybe systemconfigurator?)

Here is the scenario:

Kickstart RHEL3 system, everything working perfectly

Take an image of the system with 3.7.3

Drop new image on system

Everything seems to finally be working in systemimager with the 2.4 kernel, 
(all the data is getting copied), but the system is not bootable after imaging. 
It fails with:

RAMDISK: Compressed image found at block 0

crc error<6>Freeing intird memory: 277k freed

VFS: Cannot open root device "LABEL=/" or 00:00

Please append a correct "root=" boot option

I have no idea what is causing this crc error, but something has to be getting 
corrupted during imaging. It seems to be a problem with decompressing the 
initrd, but the strange thing is I've verified the initrd md5sum on the imaged 
system matches the file after kickstarting (by booting into rescue mode).

Also, I've verified this problem on several systems, so I'm sure it's not a 
hardware thing.

Running out of ideas,

Matt
