I was able to compile a kernel with support for the megaraid controller but then it kernel panics with no init found.
I loop mounted the iso and got this: 2048 Dec 17 13:20 boot.catalog 1359 Dec 17 13:20 INITRD 9652 Dec 17 13:20 ISOLINUX.BIN 80 Dec 17 13:20 ISOLINUX.CFG 755417 Dec 17 09:43 LINUX
the INITRD is a lot smaller here than on the cd image I downloaded. Is there something I am missing to include in the makeImage? I am doing the # ./makeImage -k /usr/src/linux-2.4.21/arch/i386/boot/bzImage -c udpcast.iso
Getting closer to cloning these servers. Thanks

Your initrd is way too small. Looks like not everything has been included. Did the makeImage command print out any error messages?

No errors. Just this:
Size of boot image is 4 sectors -> No emulation Total translation table size: 2048 Total rockridge attributes bytes: 576 Total directory bytes: 0 Path table size(bytes): 10 Max brk space used 4000 432 extents written (0 Mb)

I also tried to build the udpcast on RedHat 9.0, I was using RH7.3 and Debian Testing before. But it is still making the small INITRD.
I also looked thru the makeImage script to see if maybe paths might not be following correctly. I also tried to use the new LINUX file and put it in with the other files in the iso. But that did not work either. I'm close I just cannot figure out why it's not building the INITRD file correctly.
If I try and make a floppy I do get several errors about the -i flag for mcopy and mformat.
I would like to get this working before I am told to buy some proprietary software. This worked great on the ide boxes and I would like to use it on the scsi servers.
