OK... I should read all the mails before starting to reply... :-) anyway if I remember well there was a bug in the --append option with si_mkautoinstallcd, the fix was introduced in 3.7.3 (so the bug is surely resolved in 3.7.5). Maybe this is the reason because you need to type the ramdisk_size parameter at the boot prompt. Regarding the floppy, why don't you define all the local.cfg options in the kernel boot parameters with the --append option? (obviously only if you're using a release >= 3.7.3). Regards, -Andrea John Beck wrote:OK I got passed this issue by issuing "linux ramdisk_size=100000" at the boot prompt, for some reason this isn't working when I use si_mkautobootcd append command. It totally skips over my local.cfg on the floppy. It's looking for ext2 or ext3 on the floppy, is there something I need to do to use a fat formatted floppy disk? Thanks, -John John Beck wrote:I'm having trouble, and I think it's probably a RAM disk issue. I've tried making the ramdisk larger using --append "vga=extended initrd=initrd.img root=/dev/ram ramdisk_size=200000" with si_mkautoinstallcd. I also tried to set it in /etc/systemimager/pxelinux.cfg/syslinux.cfg by adding: tempfs_size=200M I create the image with si_preparecleint I get the image with si_getimage --golden-client I then make the boot cd for the image: si_mkautoinstallcd --kernel /var/lib/systemimager/images/rh2/etc/systemimager/b oot/kernel --initrd /var/lib/systemimager/images/rh2/etc/systemimager/boot/initr d.img --append "vga=extended initrd=initrd.img root=/dev/ram ramdisk_size=200000 " --out-file /var/lib/systemimager/rh2.iso I boot from the cd created from rh2.iso and I use a floppy with this local.cfg: #local.cfg on floppy HOSTNAME=rh2 DOMAINNAME=unixsamurai.com DEVICE=eth0 IPADDR=192.168.1.243 NETMASK=255.255.255.0 NETWORK=192.168.1.0 BROADCAST=192.168.1..255 GATEWAY=192.168.1.1 GATEWAYDEV=eth0 IMAGESERVER=192.168.1.242 IMAGENAME=rh2 but no matter what I get this error: RAMDISK: Compressed image found at block 0 RAMDISK: incomplete write (-28 != 32768) 16777216 VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem) readonly.
