I am trying to clone an IBM e336 with 2 36GB drives which are in a RAID 1 configuration.

 

I have successfully used si_getimage to upload a golden client image to my image server.

 

However, when I boot my empty server (I am doing a PXE boot), all goes well until the mkreiserfs step… it fails with unknown device  /dev/sda

 

I examined the client autoinstall script on the server and although it writes a new disk label and retrieved the size of the disk into a variable called DISK_SIZE, it never actually partitions the new disk.

 

I put the following command into the script:

 

parted –s  dev/sda  p ext2  0 1027

parted –s  dev/sda  p ext2  1027 34710

 

and then I started the process again…

 

but this time, the rsync begins and aborts… it is unable to created directories in the local /a/sys directory. It creates a lot of files/directories in /a/sys before it fails. It also creates the majority of the filesystem.

 

I’m wondering is the autoinstall script missing other important bits ???

 

Subsequent attempt to download the image results in more bizarre errors. .. you can’t even partition the disks anymore…. The parted –s  dev/sda  p ext2  0 1027 command returns an “out of range” error.

 

Any ideas ???
