Hello Michael,
I also work for a school district and have found udp-cast to be a great
tool.
I believe the problem you are having is similar to a problem I faced
recently. Our district uses PXE boot servers but I got the same error you
did. Here's what you can try:
Open ISOLINUX.CFG on the CD and see if it looks like this:
default linux
label linux
kernel LINUX
append root=/dev/ram0 initrd=INITRD
Your default, label, and kernel lines may be different but make sure the
root=/dev/ram0 option is there. I have never made custom UDP-Cast CDs. I
do not know how you would make these changes when making the image.
Hopefully someone else will be able to step in and help.

First let me thank you for udpcast, it has been a valuable tool for my
school district. And now to what I'm here for, we have gotten a new batch
of computers from Gateway with Marvell nic cards not supported with the
current version of udpcast. I have attempted to build a custom iso with
these new drivers following the instructions on the website. I used the
2.4.26 kernel sources and the rpm's from the site. I can't get the
computers to boot to determine if the new drivers work. I'm sure I've just
overlooked some small detail but I haven't been able to determine what.
I downloaded the linux driver from the Marvell site; installed in 2.4.26
src tree and built kernel according to instructions on the site.
I created the iso with the following command:
./makeImage -k
/usr/local/lx/2.4.26-udpcast/linux-2.4.26/arch/i386/boot/bzImage -c
udpcast1.iso --fullbox
the resulting iso is then burned to cd and when booted gives the following
error:
Please append a correct "root=" boot option.
kernel panic not able to mount root
Thanks,
Michael
