[sisuite-users] support newer kernels in systemimager?

[Steven D. <ste...@hp...>]

I am trying to capture the image of a system that is running Ubuntu 
Precise 12.04LTS and when I run the si_prepareclient with the following 
command line switches:

si_prepareclient --server 10.23.18.10 --my-modules

I get the following :

Use of uninitialized value $v1 in split at 
/usr/lib/systemimager/perl/SystemImager/Common.pm line 199.

ERROR: unsupported kernel 3.5.0-23-generic!

The warnings or errors about "Use of uninitialized value $v1 in split at 
/usr/lib/systemimager/perl/SystemImager/Common.pm line 199" is due to 
the way parted is now returning multiple line of text output when the 
--version option is passed. It seems that the perl code that is supposed 
to be parsing the stuff that is not able to handle that multi-line 
output to extract the version of the parted utility.


However what concerns me most is the message back that says the 
3.5.0-23-generic kernel is not supported.
Is there any documentation available for systemimager that would show 
the necessary process steps to incorperate support for newer kernels?

Any suggestions about any of this would be most appreciated. BTW, I have 
the following installed on the Ubuntu system:

ii  systemconfigurator 2.2.11-1                      Unified 
Configuration API for Linux Installation
ii  systemimager-client 4.1.6                         Utilities for 
creating an image and upgrading client machines
ii  systemimager-common 4.1.6                         Utilities and 
libraries common to both the server and client
ii  systemimager-initrd-template-amd64 4.1.6                         
SystemImager initrd template for amd64 client nodes
