RE: [Sisuite-users] Problem with mkautoinstallcd tmpfs

Bernard,   The two (source and destination) machines are HP DL360 G4 with single i386 32-bit processor each.  The image server is also a HP DL360 G3 i386 machine.   I will take a look at the script, attempt to modify it and advice on how it goes.  I will also generate the rpm –qa output later and send it as you requested.     Best, Bela   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Bernard Li Sent: Friday, January 27, 2006 2:28 PM To: sisuite-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: RE: [Sisuite-users] Problem with mkautoinstallcd tmpfs   Trimming my response so it goes through...   From: Bernard Li Sent: Friday, January 27, 2006 11:26 To: 'sisuite-users@lists.sourceforge.net' Subject: RE: [Sisuite-users] Problem with mkautoinstallcd tmpfs If you want to work around it, modify si_mkautoinstallcd.   It's still weird that it doesn't work for you.  Can you show me the output of 'rpm -qa | grep systemimager'?   Also, are you on x86_64 or i386?   I tested it on i386, perhaps you are on x86_64 and there is a bug in the code?   Cheers,   Bernard   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of B.
