Creating image with Systemimager

[cuongtim]

Dear all,

I follow the guideline in http://www.howtoforge.com/howto_linux_systemimager to create an image using Systemimager.
When I run si_prepareclient --server myserver
and choose YES for both questions, then failed with the following output:
Using "sfdisk" to gather information about disk:
/dev/sda

I install systemimager-server 3.6.3-2 in my Debian 3.1 and systemimager-client 3.6.3-1 in Fedora Core 4.

Any help would be very appreciated.
