         Manually set the "real_dev" and "format" attributes in

         "/etc/systemimager/autoinstallscript.conf" to properly create this device

         during the autoinstall process. 

 

FATAL: couldn't find a valid initrd template.

        Try to install systemimager-i386initrd_template package!

 

Thanks !!
