Any progress on the SI feature to build it's network boot image from the host system? (i.e. use same kernel, don't depend on cramfs, etc, etc) FR: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=682696&group_id=259&atid=350259
The reason I'm asking is because I'm experiencing another show stopping problem caused by the lack of that feature. Originally, our problems were mainly issues with supporting new hardware. Those are equally serious, but band-aid'ed by a new kernel for now.
The new problem is that the SIS netboot kernel detects eth0 and eth1 on a particular machine in a certain order. The kernel I am deploying in the image detects them in the opposite order, and REQUIRES them to be that way. So nothing comes up from disk with a network.
Disabling one adapter would fix my problem... but this hardware (rx2600's) doesn't allow that. That would be a hack, even if it were possible.
The kernel I'm using is a pretty standard 2.4.20 kernel... which will eventually be used in the Gelato distribution. I cannot proceed as is. My guess is that if you make a 2.4.20 netboot kernel, it may help me in this instance, but this is only going to happen again, and again, and again. We *really* need a process that doesn't depend on us contacting the SIS team for another band-aid. That way, at 3AM in the morning, I can also still finish the job on my own instead of aborting. ;-)
thx-
Jeremy
