 Can you please provide more information regarding this?  What module

arrgh, didn't remember and didn't note anything.
sorry for my stupid question but how to make a screenshot/dump at this
when the computer is in this state ?
btw, I planned to install another node soon, will see if it does the same
so I will read carefully what's happen

 - even if in systemimager.conf NET_BOOT_DEFAULT was set in local at 
 reboot
 it retried to reinstall the image
 - the UUIDs of all HD failed (seems the module uuid didn't load) so I
 modified /etc/mdadm.conf to match the real /dev/sdX in the ARRAY lines
 - I had to change manually the network-scripts
 - I needed to boot first in rescue mode to rebuild all the Raid1 arrays

 I suspect you are getting the above weird issues due to the kernel
 panic and SystemImager not being able to complete successfully.
yes I guessed.


thanks

Franck

You can try setting up si_monitortk to see if it catches the messages.
 If not and you don't have console access at all, the best bet is
probably to take a digital picture of your screen with the text
focused such that you can see what's going on.

I will be posting the most recent snapshot with ext4 support built-in
shortly, perhaps you can wait to test that instead.

Cheers,

Bernard

2011-04-14 Thread Bernard Li
Hi all:

The latest snapshot for SystemImager 4.2.0 is now available:

http://download.systemimager.org/~bli/systemimager/

Changes since the last snapshot:

- added bc, rsync = 2.4.6 to RPM spec file BuildRequires
- fix 'Use of uninitialized value' warning and disallow passing empty
string to --update-script for si_getimage
- allow parted version numbers a.b in addition to a.b.c
- added support of openSUSE 11.3 kernels in _get_kernel_release() for UYOK
- added support for devtmpfs devstyle (openSUSE 11.3+)
- added support for ext4 filesystem

Thanks for the contributions of Thomas Zeiser and Franck.

If you could please test the latest snapshot and provide feedback,
that would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

Bernard

I think you're doing this incorrectly.  If you want to specify host

ip-range/ip-range, you should provide it with ip addresses, not
hostnames.

Granted, there should probably be better sanity/error checking for the script.

Sorry Bernard I meant node/node, made a mistake above
so nodenode01-node10/node doesn't work (perl concatenation error)
and nodenode01,node02-node10/node works
