Description Lap Nguyen 2003-03-14 17:03:08 EST 
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.0.0) Gecko/20020530

Description of problem:
Kernel: 2.4.18-14

I run "mkbootdisk 2.4.18-14" at command prompt, but I get these error messages:

gzip: stdout: No space left on device
cat: write error: No space left on device
cat: write error: No space left on device

I determine there's no space left on the floppy disk (100% used). I have several
machines here, some I can run mkbootdisk, but some I can't (it produces the same
errors as above). 


what are other alternative ways to do 'mkbootdisk' to write onto different
devices or even its hard drive?

Can I use one floppy bootdisk for all of my machines if they have the same kernel?

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
mkbootdisk-1.4.8-1

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.mkbootdisk kernel_here
2.gfloppy
3.mkbootdisk kernel_here
    

Actual Results:  same errors as above

I have a similar problem using RH9 with the latest kernel patch
2.4.20-27.9.  It works fine with 2.4.20-20.9, but with ...27.9 I
get the error:

cp:  writing `/tmp/mkbootdisk.gIKbeP/initrd.img': No space left on device
cat: write error: No space left on device
cat: write error: No space left on device

Note:  it is not the case that my /tmp or other file systems are
full.

- U can compile your own smaller kernel and use mkbootdisk with it.
- Create iso image using mkbootdisk and burn iso on cdrom

U can use one floppy bootdisk for your machines, there is a copy of
kernel on the floppy bootdisk. But the kernel must include support for
machine hardware.
