Sorry, I'm not sure I understand your question. If you want to fix the issue for the *existing* 2011.05 release then your can either use the live persistency feature or remaster the ISO (using grml-live with the provided chroots from http://debian.netcologne.de/grml/release-chroots/ provides a pretty simple way). If you're interested how this is supposed to work with *upcoming* release(s) of Grml: iscsitarget currently doesn't compile against kernel 3.1.0 IIRC. But the 3.1 linux kernel provides a new infrastructure for iscsi since the SCST implementation has been replaced with the Linux-iSCSI.org target -> http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=e48354ce078c079996f89d715dfa44814b4eba01 But I'm not sure whether this will make it into the upcoming Grml release in time since the necessary userspace tools (like lio-utils) aren't available as Debian packages yet AFAICS. Any help on that front is highly appreciated though. regards, -mika-
