"--full-duplex" option in cast-o-matic initrd images
by Tom Carpenter 31 Jan '10

Is "--half-duplex" the default setting used by cast-o-matic images? I tried adding "--full-duplex" to the "Additional Udpcast command-line parameters" field of the current "Cast-o-matic Stage 2" configuration page, but I get the error "unrecognized option '--full-duplex'". (Note: '--full-duplex' was entered as the first of two command-line parameters.) -- Tom Carpenter

Re: [Udpcast] Problem with Hitachi hard disk in 20091230 and posible before

Hmm. G4L actually works on the machines. I can start UDP-cast and it sees the hard disk. But I will prefer to use UDP-cast alone because I start it from the server via the bootpromp on the NIC. So I beleve it is a bug in UDP-cast that it doesn't see the harddisk. Cant you build in the controller cards as well Alain Knaff?? Gunner Poulsen On Thu, 14 Jan 2010 23:16:41 +1000, Michael D.

Problem with Hitachi hard disk in 20091230 and posible before

Dear friends I use UDP-cast in my work as administrator on a school. It has worked brilliant for years :-) Now we have got 35 new labtops that I have to clone. But UDP-Cast can't find the harddisk :-( The hard discs are: ATA Hitachi hts542525k9sa00 UDP-cast just comes up with OTHER as harddisk partions to clone. Can anyone help? I beleve it is a fault in the driver. Med venlig hilsen Gunner Poulsen Lærer på http://www.lyngbjerggaardskolen.dk Mobil: 30 24 58 72

Gunner, I know the feeling. When I posted about my problem, Alain Knauf suggested the following: << In the "Cho[o]se hard disk controller module" menu, cho[o]se OTHER, and then you get proposed a larger menu >> Maybe the driver you need is in the extended list. If not, then a custom image is the only solution that I see. The complete command that I used was: /usr/lib/udpcast/makeImage -c udpcd.iso -k /boot/vmlinuz -m "e1000e ata_generic pata_acpi" -C udpcd.cfg --fullbox The image generator is not so hard to install.
