Not for download, but I have instructions for how to build one that supports the e1000. Don't have any SATA hosts, so can't help you with that.
Notes are below. I use Debian, but you can probably figure out the parts you need. M mkdir ~/src/systemimager cd ~/src/systemimager apt-get source systemimager # ~ 45MB cd systemimager-3.0.1 tar -xjf systemimager-3.0.1.tar.bz2 cd systemimager-3.0.1 make patched_kernel-stamp There is now a systemimager kernel source tree in src/linux-2.4.20 Download the e1000 source from Intel: http://support.intel.com/support/network/sb/cs-006120-prd38.htm mkdir ~/src/e1000 cd ~/src/e1000 tar -xzf e1000.tar.gz cd e1000/src Edit Makefile: Set KSP = ~/src/systemimager/systemimager-3.0.1/systemimager-3.0.1/src/linux-2.4.20 make cp e1000.o ~/src/systemimager/systemimager-3.0.1/systemimager-3.0.1/initrd_source/my_modules cd ~/src/systemimager/systemimager-3.0.1/systemimager-3.0.1/initrd_source/my_modules Edit INSMOD_COMMAND Add nsmod ./e1000.o' cd ~/src/systemimager/systemimager-3.0.1 Edit FLAVOR Change it to something else (like e1000) for testing. make binaries Go get lunch... this takes a _long_ time. sudo make install_binaries This puts the binaries into /usr/share/systemimager/boot/i386/e1000 Now copy kernel, config, and initrd.img from e1000 to the master, and to the master /tftpboot. Test.
