Hi Bela:
If the tmpfs parameters were
indeed passed onto the kernel, then the tmpfs size should be what you
specified. I am really at a loss as to what has gone
wrong...
Cheers,
Bernard From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] on behalf of B. Erdelyi Sent: Wed 01/02/2006 16:08 To: sisuite-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: RE: [Sisuite-users] Problem with mkautoinstallcd tmpfs Bernard,
I finally installed and tested the new build. One problem has gone away which is the setting of append options. By specifying the tmpfs size and inodes in the –append string they now get passed on to the syslinux.cfg file without having to modify the script.
However, the autoinstall still fails at the target with the same 99% full message. The tmpfs is created at the same size as before: 452788. The tmpfs size specification has no effect on this.
I did not reinstall the client side of systemimager, only the server side and used the same golden master image file as previously created. I don’t believe such should have any impact on this issue since the autoinstall cd is created on the server. I believe the problem lies with the initial linux kernel in memory. Let me know if I am missing anything and whether I should reinstall the client side and recreate the golden image.
Thanks, Bela

Hi Bela:
The RPMs have the same names, but they are built at different times (with slightly different code). This is my bad so from now on I will give them unique identifiers such that we can easily identify which version you are using.
I guess the only difference between your installation and my installation is that I do NOT run si_prepareclient etc. to create a golden image, but instead I use systeminstaller to create the image. Also, I am using the stock SystemImager kernel/initrd.img (provided by the i386boot-standard package) but for your case, you are probably using RHEL3.1's kernel + an autogenerated initrd.img (via si_prepareclient/UseYourOwnKernel).
I am not sure how much of a difference this is, but I will test this after hearing your results on Tuesday.
Cheers,
Bernard
