Title: [Sisuite-users] SATA Support

Hi Nick,

 

Webmail, sorry for my format.

 

See my posts about getting Dell PE750's to work the last few months.  One of them should include a link to a new kernel and instructions.  Hmm actually I always have trouble locating posts from SI lists, so here it is http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=5122338&forum_id=10334.

 

If you want to do it on your own the trick is libata patch from JGarzik.  I don't recommend doing this unless you want to learn the SI-internals.

Subject: [Sisuite-users] SATA Support

Hello,
  I am doing system-imaging on Dell poweredge 750s and I have been struggling getting SATA support for the kernel I boot to via pxeboot for a systemimager autoinstall.  I built the kernel using the existing config file in /usr/share/systemimager.  I used this config fil eon the 2.4.26 kernel and built it.  I extracted the bzImage kernel file from the directory structure and replaced /tftboot/kernel with the file, (after applying patches and building) and it boots, but I get to a point where I get the message:
  cannot stat /dev/sda  
I get some more complaints and then it says my autoinstall failed.  I checked and I cannot hit /dev/sda or /dev/hda or anything of the sort when the system is booted.
  Has anybody seen anything similar in their endeavors, or has anybody had any success getting serial ATA support to work for the systemimager boot?

        Thanks,
           Nick Harknett
