[Sisuite-users] autoinstall cd fails: Warning: Partition(s) on /dev/hda are being used

Hi, systemimagers

I have been using si to install Dell 1750s (rack mount units for our
compute farm). I am happy with it. I am now trying to use systemimager
to install some linux 2.6 kernel-based desktops (Dell 450 with
centos4.2). I am using RPMs from your source forge site on the image server:

systemimager-server-3.6.3-1
systemimager-client-3.6.3-1
systemimager-i386boot-standard-3.6.3-1
systemimager-common-3.6.3-1
systemimager-i386initrd_template-3.6.3-1

and on the golden client:

systemimager-common-3.6.3-1
systemimager-i386initrd_template-3.6.3-1
systemimager-client-3.6.3-1

here is how I built the golden image:

on the client: si_prepareclient --server imageserver
on the server: si_getimage -golden-client aclient -image
dell_450_CENTOS4_image_v1

here is how I built the autoinstall cd:

si_mkautoinstallcd -flavor dell_450_CENTOS4_image_v1 --out-file
/tmp/xx.iso --append "ramdisk_size=70000"

When I try to boot the cd, it fails due to insufficient ramdisk size so
apparently the append option on si_mkautoinstallcd doesn't appear to be
working.

I then tried to boot the cd and give the following on the boot command line:

linux ramdisk_size=70000 IMAGENAME=dell_450_CENTOS4_image_v1

This time, it boots up, finds the master, loads it, runs it but fails as
follows:

parted -s -- /dev/hda mklabel msdos || shellout
Warning: Partitions(s) on /dev/hda are being used.
Killing off running processes.

etc.

Any ideas what the problem is? Should I be using the unstable 3.7.x release?

thanks for your assistance and your work on a great product.
