[Sisuite-users] /dev empty
My golden client images have an empty /dev directory. This causes many problems when the newly imaged system tries to boot. I can hack around it by coppying /dev from another system, but each time I 'getimage' dev is empty. I couldn't find an 'exclude /dev' in all the configs. Any ideas?

Re: [Sisuite-users] /dev empty
on my systems it does the same thing, I assumed it was because gentoo uses udev. I put a step in my autoinstall script that rsyncs /dev/* right before the chroot step.

Re: [Sisuite-users] /dev empty
That is strange. rsync shouldn't ignore /dev, unless configured to do so. Do you know where getimage read it's rsync config options?

Re: [Sisuite-users] /dev empty
I'm trying to recall... I believe I saw an explicit ignore of /dev somewhere...it would be maybe in the client-side prepareclient stuff.

Re: [Sisuite-users] /dev empty
On the client, I only see reference to '/dev ' in the client. /etc/systemimager/mounted_filesystems tmpfs on /dev type tmpfs (rw,size=10M,mode=0755) Once the client is running, and I run 'mount -l', /dev does not show up as mounted tmpfs. I've searched for tmpfs in the other scripts, but haven't found anything that would exclude all tmpfs mounts. On Wed, 2005-10-19 at 17:32 -0500, John Jolet wrote: > I'm trying to recall...

The pxe/syslinux site, http://syslinux.zytor.com/pxe.php says "Note that all filename references are relative to the directory pxelinux.0 lives in.

I don't have pxelinux.0, but I found message.txt displays if I put it in /tftboot (where I have pxelinux.bin) That site has other cool info, like how you can define files to display when you press F1,F2, etc too! hth charles --- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: Power Architecture Resource Center: Free content, downloads, discussions, and more. http://solutions.newsforge.com/ibmarch.tmpl ___ Sisuite-users mailing list Sisuite-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/sisuite-users
Re: [Sisuite-users] message.txt menu not displaying
Solved. A soft link caused wrong path, so message.txt was not found. This directory: /var/lib/tftpboot/X86PC/UNDI/linux-install/pxelinux.cfg was a soft link to: /var/lib/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg Both my pxelinux script and message.txt were in there. The client would see read the pxelinux script but fail to see message.txt FIX: 1. Moved message.txt to: /var/lib/tftpboot/X86PC/UNDI/linux-install/ 2. Changed DISPLAY line in syslinux.cfg: DISPLAY ../X86PC/UNDI/linux-install/message.txt Ultimately, I'd like to figure out how to make everything look at just /var/lib/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/, but I need to learn about pxe.config. With PXE, TFTP, and systemimager all looking for this directory in different places, it gets really confusing.
