You can grab either sets of RPMs, the "ips" one have support for a
newer ServeRAID which you may not need, but they're identical besides
that.
Thanks. I get the error
link_stat /usr/share/systemimager/boot/i386/standard/initrd_template/.
: No such file or directory
None of the rpms contain this directory. I assume I have to install the
src.rpm and build the server first? I thought the idea was to run this
on the golden client.
You don't really need SVN access to check code out, it supports
anonymous checkouts...
For checkout instructions, see the wiki:

Rebuilding SystemImager is not that hard after you get the hang of it,
but it does take a long time, so hopefully you have a fast machine...
Are you on x86_64 or x86? For 3.6.3, I updated the x86_64 kernel to
2.6.12.2.
x86. I built 3.5.3 and it really didn't take that long. But here is my
problem, and excuse me if it's "stupid simple" but I can't figure out
how to add the modules I want and repackage them like the flavors under
/usr/share/systemimager/boot/i386/. The drivers I have are not in the
kernel tree. So if this were for a standalone server i'd build them,
copy them over to /lib/modules/<kernel_ver>/kernel/drivers/scsi and
make the initrd.img with mkinitrd.
I can't figure out how to do this with the systemimager kernel build
process, and the server I am on doesn't have these cards in it either
which I think usually helps the process (for me anyway).
I have tried to unpack the initrd and add it there, but on my system I
can't seem to mount them, and get unexpected end of archive if i gunzip
and cpio them.
If you test the RPMs and it couldn't detect your hardware, you can let
me know which module is needed and I can compile it in and see if it
works for you. Otherwise, UseYourOwnKernel may be your best bet.
I need 3x-9xxx and mv_sata.

I really do appreciate the help, and would be glad if you wanted to add
these, but I'd like to figure out how to do this myself. I'd be happy
to wiki it for non-experts once done :)
thanks
