Hi, I'm trying to get udpcast to work via PXE with our machines. Our SEAGATE ST973402SS (SAS) harddisks are not detected automatically by the udpcast linux kernel, which I downloaded from http://udpcast.linux.lu/20070622/linux
From the output of dmesg,
SCSI subsystem initialized Fusion MPT base driver 3.04.01 Copyright (c) 1999-2005 LSI Logic Corporation and the output of lsmod, I am guessing that the right module for the HD is 'mptsas'. Hence, I guess I need to compile a kernel for udpcast. I read in your website that one should use your boot image generator. However, this tool is only distributed as a RPM binary. When using Debian's 'alien' tool to convert the RPM to a .deb package, I get: dpkg-gencontrol: error: current build architecture amd64 does not appear in package's list (i386) which makes sense, since our arch is amd64. What's the most intelligent way to go from here? Should I get a hold of the sources for udpcast-mkimage-20070622-1.i586.rpm to build udpcast-mkimage myself? Where are the sources available? Is there an easier way to go about all this? Thanks a lot, /P
