Hey guys, I'm new to SystemImager and I'm having a little bit of trouble... Here's my setup: I have a headnode set up running Linux Fedora 11 64bit and it has a dhcpd server assigning IP addresses to 4 cluster nodes on my network. Two of these cluster nodes have Linux Fedora 11 64bit installed, various other software, and then SystemImager 4.0.2. One of my cluster nodes was custom partitioned prior to Linux being installed. The other was just partitioned automatically with the Linux installation. I have successfully made an image of each node and I'm trying to send them to my other two nodes (which have blank hard drives). Both nodes boot from the network properly, connect to my image server (which is also my headnode), and find the image just fine. It's the autoinstallation of the images is where the trouble is. When systemimager tries to install the image with the custom partitions, everything is fine until this point: *The partitions are created* .... mount sysfs /a/sys -t sysfs -o defaults || shellout Quietly installing image... df: /a/tmp: No such file or directory df: /a/boot: No such file or directory df: /a/var: No such file or directory df: /a/share: No such file or directory These last four lines are just reprinted to the screen over and over until the whole process finally fails, saying: mount: can't find a/var in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab When systemimager tries to install the image with the automatic Linux partitioning, the image seems to install alright. rsync -aHS --exclude=lost+found/ --exclude=/proc/* --numberic-ids 192.168.0.100: : quadnode/ /a/ but then I receive something similar to: swapper: page allocation failure. order:0, mode:0x20 Call Trace: <IRQ> [<ffffffff8020e0ee>] __alloc_pages+0x288/0x2a1 [<ffffffff80233114>] tcp_v4_do_rcv+0x26/0x290 [<ffffffff8024fb45>] cache_alloc_refill+0x23f/0x45e [<ffffffff80298982>] __kmalloc+0x50/0x57 [<ffffffff80228233>] __alloc_skb+0x5a/0x133 [<ffffffff803a4a5d>] nv_alloc_rx_optimized+0x58/0x18c [<ffffffff803a6e30>] nv_nic_irq_optimized+0x87/0x1d9 [<ffffffff8020f098>] handle_IRQ_event+0x25/0x53 [<ffffffff80210374>] __do_softirq+0x46/0x90 [<ffffffff8028ab8f>] handle_fasteoi_irq+0x5b/0x88 [<ffffffff8025d66e>] do_IRQ+0xd7/0x132 [<ffffffff8025ba07>] default_idle+0x0/0x3a [<ffffffff802509f1>] ret_from_intr+0x0/0xa <EOI> [<ffffffff8045e907>] udp_poll+0x0/0x128 [<ffffffff8025ba2d>] default_idle+0x26/0x3a [<ffffffff8023e163>] cpu_idle+0x3d/0x5c [<ffffffff805e58e9>] start_kernel+0x294/0x2a0 [<ffffffff805e5140>] _sinittext+0x140/0x144 Mem-info: DMA per-cpu: CPU 0: Hot: hi: 0, btch: 1 usd: 0 Cold: hi: 0, btch: 1 usd: 0 DMA32 per-cpu: CPU 0: Hot: hi: 186, btch: 31 usd: 30 Cold: hi: 62, btch: 15 usd: 48 Active:170237 inactive:288513 dirty:24931 writeback:1 unstable:0 free:2537 slab:47109 mapped:7013 pagetables:1123 bounce:0 DMA free:8024kB min:28kB low:32kB high:40kB active:3096kB inactive:0kB present:11164kB pages_scanned:128 all_unreclaimable? no lowmem_reserve[]: 0 2003 2003 DMA32 free:2124kB min:5712kB low:7140kB high:8568kB active:677852kB inactive:1154052kB present:2051184kB pages_scanned:0 all_unreclaimable? no lowmem_reserve[]: 0 0 0 DMA: 0*4kB 1*8kB 1*16kB 0*32kB 1*64kB 0*128kB 1*256kB 1*512kB 1*1024kB 1*2048kB 1*4096kB = 8024kB DMA32: 1*4kB 1*8kB 0*16kB 0*32kB 1*64kB 0*128kB 0*256kB 0*512kB 0*1024kB 1*2048kB 0*4096kB = 2124kB Swap cache: add 188636, delete 61524, find 121/155, race 0+0 Free swap = 5101816kB Total swap = 5855208kB Free swap: 5101816kB 524000 pages of RAM 9148 reserved pages 177075 pages shared 127112 pages swap cached swapper: page allocation failure. order:0, mode:0x20 Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks!
Are you trying to install the image to a virgin system, or is the hard drive already formatted? I guess this is nothing to worry about. Can you boot the system afterwards?
