While provisioning a system registered with RHN Satellite, it fails with error message `Error creating the new RAM disk` with file preservations
Issue
-
Provisioning a machine registered with RHN Satellite fails if there are configurations of file preservation.
-
File preservation example:
/etc/ssh/moduli
/etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key
/etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key.pub
/etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key.pub
/etc/ssh/ssh_host_key.pub
/etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key
/etc/ssh/ssh_host_key
- The problem seems to be at merge-rd.sh:
CMD: ['/usr/sbin/merge-rd.sh', '/boot/initrd.img', '/boot/initrd.img', '/tmp/ks-tree-shadow']
D: Sending back response(1, 'Error creating the new RAM disk', {'status': 1, 'stderr': '', 'stdout': 'Usage: /usr/sbin/merge-rd.sh SOURCERD DESTRD /path/to/merge/from\n'})
- There is no
/boot/initrd.img
but/boot/initrd.img_koan
exists.
