Description of problem:

-------- Original Message --------
Subject:        system-config-netboot error
Date:   Wed, 01 Feb 2006 18:14:51 -0800

Hi,
I'm trying to create a diskless server.
using the rsync command line I copied the the files to /tftpboot/root.

All goes well until I click apply - error:

/bin/cp: cannot stat `/tmp/tftpboot/root/not': No such file or directory
Copying required libraries to initrd failed.

I'm not sure what to do about this.

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
Create a client root where one of the binaries required for the initrd.img
has missing library dependencies or has been replaced by a script - ie one
of :
/sbin/busybox.anaconda /sbin/insmod /sbin/modprobe /sbin/rmmod /sbin/dhclient
/bin/bash /bin/mount /sbin/route /sbin/ip /usr/bin/expr /sbin/lspci
/sbin/ifconfig /sbin/consoletype /sbin/pivot_root /bin/hostname /bin/domainname
/usr/bin/host

Actual results:
updateDiskless terminates with cryptic error message:
"cannot stat `/tmp/tftpboot/root/not': No such file or directory
 Copying required libraries to initrd failed. 
"

Expected results:
updateDiskless should report details of missing libraries, and not attempt
to run ldd on programs that are not binary executables.
