Re: [sisuite-users] Imaging issues with RH ES 4
Andrea,
Find below the autoinstallscript.conf.
What appears to have happended is that /selinux was imaged and then
propagated to the
new machine. By removing /selinux files, creating /.autorelabel and
rebooting /selinux was
properly mounted and 'fixfiles relabel' was run.
As you can see below /selinux(selinuxfs) is not shown. The mount command
RHEL4 does
not show selinux however /proc/mounts does. rc.sysinit determines if
selinuxfs is mounted
as : selinuxfs=`awk '/ selinuxfs / { print $2 }' /proc/mounts` . I
checked si_prepareclient and
mount is used and not /proc/mounts. What is the best solution ?
- mount returns :
[EMAIL PROTECTED] etc]# which mount
/bin/mount
[EMAIL PROTECTED] etc]# /bin/mount
/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00 on / type ext3 (rw)
none on /proc type proc (rw)

Are your filesystems mounted with user_xattr (or xattr) after the
imaging? what's the output of a simple "mount"? could you post also your
autoinstallscript.conf?

If grub doesn't appear when you boot from local disk, surely there was a problem in the boot loader installation... which version of systemconfigurator are you using in your image? and which version of grub?

Re: [sisuite-users] building debian packages
The debian packages are available at: ftp://ftp.sara.nl/pub/outgoing/systemimager I have only tested the release with rsync and i could reinstall a node. In the systemimager-server package are also the monitord and the bittorent init.d scripts. They belong in a separate package but for the moment it is oke. The main goal for us is to test the bittorent setup Regards -- * * * Bas van der Vlies e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] * * SARA - Academic Computing Servicesphone: +31 20 592 8012 * * Kruislaan 415 fax:+31 20 6683167* * 1098 SJ Amsterdam * * * - Take Surveys.

Andrea, Thanks for the hint and it is exactly what i needed. we use still a old systemimager setup with our own tweaks. I will rewrite our pxeconfig tool to use scriptname variable and get rid of our DHCP setting.
