I'm attempting to get system imager up and running and am hitting a wall. I
know it has to be basic configuration, so I'm hoping someone who has experience
can point me in the right direction. All I am attempting to do at this point
is capture an image (successful) and install it onto another client using a
static IP assignment. I'll provide as much detail as possible as to what I've
done so far:
I am running 4.0.2 compiled from source on ubuntu 7.04 following the guide for
installing from source on Debian in the docs. I did switch the sym link for
dash over to bash.
In my test environment, my image server and my client are both virtual machines
in vmware server 1.0.6. My golden client is P4 workstation, running ubuntu
7.04 server.
On the golden client, I ran si_prepareclient then si_getimage on the image
server. The image server was successfully able to capture the image from the
golden client.
Then on the image server, I ran si_addclients and added the information for the
new client. Since the client I was going to be creating has a different disk
size, I edited the autoinstallscript.conf and changed the disk config to:
<disk dev="/dev/sda" label_type="msdos" unit_of_measurement="%">
<!--
This disk's output was brought to you by the partition tool "sfdisk",
and by the numbers 4 and 5 and the letter Q.
-->
<part num="1" size="90" p_type="primary" p_name="-" flags="boot" />
<part num="2" size="*" p_type="extended" p_name="-" flags="-" />
<part num="5" size="*" p_type="logical" p_name="-" flags="swap" />
</disk>
per the docs in the "howto Net boot ubuntu" section. I did attempt an install
with the default script and it complained about a disk sector being out of
bounds (duh). After editing, I ran si_mkautoinstallscript to update the image.
Following and modifying the ssh docs, I then ran:
si_mkbootpackage -destination /usr/local/iso -image testServer -config
/usr/local/iso local.cfg -yes
si_mkautoinstallcd --out-file /usr/local/iso/systemimager.iso --kernel
/usr/local/iso/kernel --initrd /usr/local/iso/initrd.img --append
"MONITOR_SERVER=***.***.***.*** MONITOR_CONSOLE=yes"
where my local.cfg file is:
HOSTNAME=testServer
DOMAINNAME=
DEVICE=eth0
IPADDR=192.168.3.215
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
NETWORK=192.168.3.0
BROADCAST=192.168.3.255
GATEWAY=192.168.3.1
GATEWAYDEV=eth0
IMAGESERVER=192.168.3.197
IMAGENAME=testServer
I then transferred the iso to vmware server and pointed my client machine to
boot off of it.
The machine boots off the iso and makes it through network discovery. When it
runs the autoinstall_script.sh is when errors start to fly.

And that is where it dies. I have tried using both my own kernel (as above)
and the BOEL, as well as using the default file system (as opposed to cramfs).
