Hello there,
I hope I get no dubble Post :-) If so "SORRY" (I am new in Using Mailling Lists)
today I Downloaded the latest Windows Version of udpcast from the Website.
When I start the Programm on a PC with only one Network Interface it works
fine (both sender and receiver).
But when I start it on the same PC (a VMware) with two Network Interfaces
the Programm crashes immediately. I tryed to bind the Interface with:
"--interface 192.168.1.2" (Yes the IP is the correct) but this also dosent work.
The only Message that appears is: "Udp-sender 2006-06-19"
and for the receiver: "Udp-receiver 2006-03-25"
If the Windows Error Reporting Service is active it will send a Error Report to MS.
I hope this is only a small Error...
When it works it is a really cool Programm!

Sorry, I should have added that,
If you use the cciss!c0d0 and add it manually to the device to use option box, it always returns an error message << File "/dev/cciss!c0d" not found (No such file or directory) >>

And what happens if you just chose the "badly named" cciss!c0d0 device?
Does it work anyways, or do you get an error?
Thanks,
Alain

Hi,
I'm aware of using udpcast threw firewall, certainly isn't a best
practice, but I'm sending images from firewalled server, to pcs in
computer laboratory.
Server is ofcourse firewalled. I opened ports 9000 and 9001 in firewall
for inbound udp connections. All outbound connections are allowed. I'm
using OpenSuse 10.1, but it shouldn't be the case.
udp-receiver or udp-sender on server, always have to be executed at the
end. If it isn't done like that, the sender and receiver doesen't find
themselves threw broadcast.
Firewall is blocking something for sure, but I have no idea, what. Could
you tell me what rule in fw I missed?
Thanks.

I've been struggling with a problem that originally i thought was due to the hardware and the driver, but not sure now.
I have compiled the kernel on the target machine with the latest CCISS driver preloaded in the kernel as the device needs to be loaded at boot. I then create an new INITRD using the makeImage script. Again all goes well. I transfer the needed files to the tftp server and boot the test server. The kernel download, the initrd is run, all appears to be going well. The menu system loads and i step through the option all the way to the "Devices to be copied" screen. The is nothing displayed there. I access the shell (built with --fullbox option) and in the dev folder I have cciss!c0d0 not what I was expecting (cciss/c0d0). The dmesg reports:
Compaq SMART2 Driver (v 2.6.0)
HP CISS Driver (v 2.6.10)
cciss: Device 0xb178 has been found at bus 0 dev 4 func 0
cciss: using DAC cycles
blocks= 71122560 block_size= 512
heads= 255, sectors= 32, cylinders= 8716
blocks= 71122560, block_size= 512
heads= 255, sectors= 32, cylinders= 8716
cciss/c0d0: p1 p2
Uniform Multi-Platform E-IDE driver Revision: 7.00alpha2
.....
as the dmesg shows, the cciss module is being loaded. When viewed using the shell, there appears to be a mix up with the displaying of the folder.
Any assistance would be appreciated. I would like to be able to use UDPCast to replace an existing Opforce server.

Hi all,
I'm testing the pxe images on site to clone images, but it is bringing me this
error on the receiver machine:
"Warning: unable to open an inital console.
Kernel panic - not syncing: No init found. Try passing init=option to kernel.
"
I'm using the same initrd and linux kernel on site.
Sometime ago, I had the same error in a minilinux project I was working on.
The problem was that I was using the busybox package instead of
busybox-static. The busybox needs the glibc and the busyboox-static does not
need. I wonder if this is the same error. Have anybody here passed the same
problem?May somebody help me with this issue?
Regards,
Sara Nery
ps - sorry for my poor english

Hi,
I'm wondering how to make udpcast to execute certain commands after
transfer is completed. I know that it can be achieved using
cast-o-matic, but I'm using commandline version of udpcast. Is it
possible to do just something like that? :
udp-sender --parm1 --parm2 --file /foo/bar ; NextCommand
or
udp-receiver --parm1 --parm2 --file /foo/bar ; NextCommand
Thanks for help.

Hello, i´m from a college at Brazil
I had some problems with a SATA driver and updcast. My Western Digital Sata
doesn´t have support, what could I do ?

Thanks for the response,
I found the problem, I was using the old version of the linux file so it was looking for the old file structure for the module drivers.
I'm still fighting with trying to get the kernel to load the cciss scsi module, not as a module but part of the kernel. The HP systems need the cciss as part of the starting kernel.

You can pick the kernel using the - k flag.
For example, if you prefer the 2.6.16.20 kernel, do:
makeImage - k /boot/vmlinuz- 2.6.16.20udpcast ...
N.B. The script is *not* building the modules, it rather expects them to
already be present in /lib/modules/2.6.16.20udpcast beforehand.
You can do that by calling "make modules_install" in your kernel source
directory before calling makeImage

Hi all,
I'm trying to cloning hd images, but it doesn't work with
two computers anymore ( sender+receiver).
What's going on ?
thanks

Hello,
I have been testing UDPCast to replace an existing Opforce server for imaging Windows Boxes.
I have been able to successfully run my tests in a VM Environment. How I'm working on the actual physical boxes that the system will be using. There are HP DL360 servers. I've run across a problem where I'm unable to access the Hard drive connected to the HP SCSI Array. I've found the proper block (it uses the cciss driver) in the modules folder from the kernel download. I have been unsuccessful with getting the cciss driver to load in order to access the harddrive. So i found in the archives a series of emails that discuss how to build a custom kernel. I have been able to create the kernel with the SCSI drive enabled and the cciss block enabled as part of the kernel. When I use the makeImage script, I alway run into an error where the script is building the modules from the old 2.6.16.18updcast folder and not the 2.6.16.20udpcast folder where the modules are located.
I have had a look at the script, but cannot seen to find the area where the modules folder is specified. I noticed that there is a -N option listed in the script ( to point to the modules folder), but this errors out as well.
Can you supply any insight or can you modify the Castomatic web site to allow this driver to be loaded as part of the kernel?
