Environment

Novell ZENworks Configuration Management
MagicISO

Situation

Editing settings.txt on the ZENworks Imaging boot disk (bootcd.iso)
Adding custom script files to the ZENworks Imaging boot disk

The following or similar error could be seen imaging with the disk:

/bin/imaging.s: line 27: /bin/script.s: No such file or directory
ZENworks Imaging failed with error:127.

Resolution

  • Use the option to keep the original file name if the ISO editing tool allows it.
  • Use a different ISO editing tool to access the settings and script files on the ZENworks Imaging boot disk.
    NOTE: Novell does not make any specific recommendation for which ISO software should be used.

Cause

In one case, the MagicISO tool was changing all of the files to uppercase by default. This was making it so the ZENworks Imaging engine was unable to see the file since Linux is case sensitive.
