I have a cluster where the nodes have 2xSCSI disks using Adaptec AIC 7899 SCSI v2.57S7. I cannot make udpcast recognize the disks to start clonning. I haven't found the driver in udpcast cd either. Any ideas?

Yes, this module (aic7xxx) was accidentally left disabled in the udpcast kernel. I enabled it and uploaded a new rpm (kernel-udpcast-2.6.20-2.i586.rpm) to the site, with the module included. The module is now also in the CD and PXE images, as well as in cast-o-matic

Hi folks, i have tried the aic7xxx driver, it loads but keeps asking for the "device to be copied". Should I hand the driver any parameter for it to recognize the disk? Or am I missing something else? The nodes have 2xSCSI disks using Adaptec AIC 7899 SCSI v2.57S7.
Thanks in advance.

You should chose there the partition that you want to copy.

Normally, you don't need any module parameter.

Thank you for your kind answer... but there is no partitions listed when it asks for device to be copied... I've tried typing "/dev/hda" but it doesn't help. Later I'll try g4l to see if it recognizes the devices.

SCSI disks are not /dev/hda, but /dev/sda ^

Yes, try with a Knoppix, and do an lspci, just to be sure that this is indeed an AIC7899 card, and not something else.
