Hi All,
I had two replies on the mail list and will try and answer both reply questions.
> > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > >
In answer to Brian Finley:
I added tmpfs_nr_inodes=10K, not sure why I chose this number, to the APPEND option, \
it still failed.
Why can I not just burn the files straight to disk, the Golden-Client image size is \
4.4G?
> > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > >
In answer to Bernard Li:
I am using version 4.0.2-1 of Systemimager server and client suite and version \
2.2.11-1 of Systemconfigurator
The image size is 4.4G
The OS on both server and client is Fedora 12
I am performing (I think) a straight forward image transfer, I think this is what you \
refer to as default rsync.
The error message I am getting says that tmpfs has run out of space.
One other point I would like to raise is that when I run si_prepairclient I get this \
message:
Starting or re-starting rsync as a daemon.....
done!
This client is ready to have its image retrieved. You must now run
the "si_getimage" command on your imageserver.
Your client has been successfully prepared. Boot kernel (copied from
this Linux distribution) and an initrd.img (generated by the
initrd_template package) can be found in /etc/systemimager/boot.
Automatically create configuration file for systemconfigurator:
>> /etc/systemconfig/systemconfig.conf
FATAL: unable to detect an initrd for "2.6.31.12-174.2.3.fc12.i686"!
WARNING: coulnd't create file /etc/systemconfig/systemconfig.conf (needed by \
systemconfigurator)
Could this be part of the problem, the prepair client command is
si_prepareclient --server islserver --my-modules

I am trying to update the kernel on 4.0.2 to 2.6.33. I am able to get a
clean build..but during boot of the kernel just after getting a DHCP
address it stops with scrolling "Floating point exeption". From looking
at it, I would assume this is a bug in the dhcp client with the newer
kernel.....can anyone help me out with this? Or point me in a direction
to determine the issue?
I really do not want to update my SystemImager infrastructure as I have
about 10 of them meshed throughout the organization and that would be
quite a task, but I have a new load of HP DL160's that I Need to add
support for and the IGB driver is not supported in the kernel until
2.6.27, and I have had one hell of a time trying to back port the driver
so I thought I would just update the SI kernel.
Thanks for any help you can office.

Have you tried using UYOK? That way you shouldn't need to update the
SystemImager kernel:

I have used UYOK for very specific needs but that does not fit in this
case as I need to be able to use the same kernel in A LOT of different
configurations (not just the one in which it was made)...that is why I
still use the standard kernel with additions make to the kernel compiled
in options and/or initrd my_modules if needed. This allows me to
maintain a single kernel/initrd that is replicated to all my remote
sites without having to maintain a lot of different kernels for
different kinds of machines that I may or may not ever have physical
access to. This is why I am trying to get the kernel updated, so I have
access to a lot of the drivers necessary for HP that will not work on
older kernels.
Bryan
P.S. I am in the process of bringing up the trunk code and compiling
from scratch....in the off chance that I will need to do a global update
to all my servers...as I only have so much time I to get this out.

I determined my error....it was user error...I compiled and updated the
kernel but I did not update all the boel_binaries from the build...so I
was using new kernel and old boel binaries.....I updated the binaries
and everything is working fine now.
Justposting here so it is available as reference for anyone else.
In Summary,
Downloaded new kernel from kernel.org
Placed in src/
Edited kernel.rul to reflect new kernel version to build.
Build to make sure everything is working
Ran make clean just because
Ran make menuconfig to add new drivers and get an updated .config file
Copied .config to patches/linux.i386.config and
patches/linux.x86_64.config
Ran make for complete build
Copied initrd_source/initrd.img to the pxeboot directory
Copied arch/x86/boot/bzImage to the pxeboot directory (the x86_64 is a
link to this file on a 64bit machine)
Copied /tmp/boel_binaries.tar.gz to the standard location (Like the
output from the builds tells you to) - missed this step myself....
Boot client...and you are getting the new binaries,kernel, and initrd
with all the new drivers...
Bryan

Hi all,
I have a Dell DT520 that I am trying to image.
There is 1G of RAM, each time it complains that tmpfs has run out of space when \
transferring the file list, any clues where to start to fix this problem?
This is the latest set of values on the APPEND list, I have tried a multitude of \
variations.
APPEND initrd=/i386/standard/initrd.img root=/dev/ram ramdisk_blocksize=1024 \
ramdisk_size=43000 tmpfs_size=900M
