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.
I've 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. Downloads for the board can be found here:

I guess I'm 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.

Hi,
Maybe you'd better to identify your NIC.
what's the results when you run
lspci
and
lspci -n
I guess this NIC should use the module "sk98lin".
If you are cloning OS images, another solution is that you can try the
clonezilla (http://clonezilla.sf.net) by running it in Fedora Core 3 or
Mandriva LE 2005. I think these distributions are new enough so your NIC
can be detected.
Steven.

You might want to check out g4l (use the sourceforge right now,
since the freshmeat site links to my server at the college, and the T-
1 line has been down for the last 4 hours).
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.

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.

The Intel Marvell Yukon was already present (as "sk98lin, SysKonnect
SK-NET Gigabit Et hernet SK-98xx driver"), however I updated
cast-o-matic anyways, in order to take into account some other "new"
cards (Broadcomm 4400 10/100, ...). The new cast-o-matic now also has
the module name in the label, rather than only the description.

Alain
