Hello,
I don't know if my last submission went through so I'll send it again.
I have an extra computer with CentOS 4.0 installed. I installed the rpm provided by Intel and then made an iso using makeImage. That didn't work. The onboard module was not in the list.
I have tried G4U on these new machines and the onboard NIC is not recognized. I have not tried Clonzilla however I think I'll come across the same problems like Donald said.
It appears that I may need to compile a new kernel which is something I have not done. It would be great if the module could be added to the online Image Generator. That would save me time in the short term but I would still like to learn from this experience. Any hints or tips would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Jeff Michels Technology Support Specialist School District of Beloit (608) 361-4087

He doesn't need new software, he needs driver support.
Any of the suggested alternatives might be met with the same problem if they don't have this chipset's integrated NIC supported in their kernel yet.
I'd think that if they have a system that works with udpcast, it will be less effort to make a kernel and modules that support the NIC, than reinvent the process around different software.
The easiest solution for you would be if our udpcast developer updated the web-enabled udpcast configurator with the Intel Marvell Yukon ethernet support.
If you are familiar with compiling your own kernel from a Linux machine, you could go that way and use the udpcast boot image generator.
Later today I'll check the kernel sources and see if that Intel device is available in the vanilla kernels.

G4L does images using dd, gzip, lzop, bzip, and I added the option of using udpcast. I've used it a couple of time, but more often have used the udpcast boot disk, since these all have 3com cards.
Might be easier to boot from the g4l cd, and then run the udpcast from the raw / network use menu.
If someone doesn't come across with a better solution.

Hello,
Our school district has been using udpcast for over a year with great
success. Recently our
district has been purchasing computers with Intel motherboards using
onboard Marvell Yukon
Ethernet adaptors. I am new to Linux and would like to know how to
include the module for the
adaptor into the PXE image. We are installing five new computer labs
this summer. Currently to
image these new computers, I open up the computer and add a PCI network
card. This will be
time consuming with each lab containing 30 computers.
Ive been using the online image generator to create the PXE images we
use on our image
server. The Intel Motherboard used on the computers is the D915GAV.

I guess Im not sure where to start. If someone could help me or just
point me in the right
direction, I would appreciate it. Thank you in advance for you help.

I can get you pointed in the right direction, and see how that progresses, to start.
First you need to install some packages on Cent OS.
The guide we are going by is on this page: http://udpcast.linux.lu/mkimagedoc.html
You need to install this on Cent OS: genromfs syslinux udpcast RPM
I'd think the official sources for Cent OS can provide the first two.
Download the 2.4.31 complete kernel: http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.4/linux-2.4.31.tar.bz2 Usually people extract this into /usr/src so that they will have a /usr/src/linux-2.4.31 (for example).
bunzip2 linux-2.4.31.tar.bz2 tar -xvf linux-2.4.31.tar
Download http://udpcast.linux.lu/current/udpc-config24.txt Save it in /usr/src/linux-2.4.31/.config
Do: cd /usr/src/linux-2.4.31 make oldconfig make menuconfig
Under the Networking section you'll find a category for 1000 megabit devices, and Yukon is down there. Use 'm' to make it a module.
Select save the config and exit.
Do: make dep && make bzImage && make modules_install
After that, you can use udpcast's makeImage to generate a new boot image, which is dicussed on the udpcast documentation I listed above.

Do: make dep && make bzImage && make modules_install
I just noticed I left out make modules, so it should be rather:
make dep && make bzImage && make modules && make modules_install
Use the suggested kernel config from udpcast so it will keep things small, and nicely compatible with busybox and friends.
