Hey guys,

I am trying to build a pxes image on a FC4 box. However I am getting heap=
s
of problems:

1) pxesconfig gives "No space left on device" errors when it tries to mak=
e
the ram disk.
2) I had to view the source code to pxesconfig to find the appropriate
command line option to increase the ram disk size
3) pxesconfig is forcing me to specify --fssizeinc=3D16384 to get an imag=
e.
However, on inspecting the image it appears I have over 17MB of free
space.
4) When i boot this image, depmod complains about various files from
/lib/modules/`uname -r`/ (ie modules.ieee1394map, modules.pnpbiosmap
modules.dep (Not ELF file, cannot read ELF header, cannot open for
writing)
5) Because of errors in 4) networking does not load!

After following these instructions:

http://www.2x.com/pxes/howtos/Customizingkernelhowto.htm

It would appear something needs to be done with at least modules.dep, but
as far as i can tell, there is zero documention describing this part of
building a pxes image!

Can anyone shed any light on what *really* needs to happen during a pxes
build?

FYI I am using the latest releases of pxesconfig and pxes-base-i586 rpms
from the new pxes site.
