You mention Fedora initrd. I would stick with vanilla kernel materials to work with this. Alain provides tools to generate kernel images and initrd files besides cast-o-matic. Have you looked at that? There is no need to mknod device files these days since udev and 2.6 kernels dynamically generate /dev contents as required by drivers.

Perhaps the challenge is, how do you get the LSI logic card working with something other than Fedora? Did the hardware vendor only supply a binary module or do you see it supported in the latest vanilla Linux kernels?

Hi all.

I am trying to clone a powerconnect 1435 using udpcast, but can't get it to recognize my LSI Logic scsi disks with the cast-o-matic image.

I tried to create an initrd from the Fedora I have installed on one of the nodes. The problem is then that not all modules are loaded at boot and, once I load then by hand and see the scsi disk on /proc, I have no idea of how to attach it at /dev

Shouldn't this be automatic? Or should I mknod the device?

I know this is not too specific to udpcast, but I've been out of the linux world for sometime and am a bit lost here. Google wasn't very helpful either.

Thanks in advance for any suggestion/help/hint/pointer.
