Hi Peter,
I use Red Hat Enterprise 3.0 and it sees my sata drive as /dev/sda/.
Maybe I should try 3.4.
For patching the kernel, does my steps looks right ?
Thanks
Simon

<snip>
I know that there was a fair bit of discussion on this but I am not
a linux expert and I would need a bit more precision. So was anybody able to
run systemimager on a poweredge 750
server using SI 3.2.3 (Intel SATA chipset) ? I rebuilt the kernel using
libata kernel patch (I did make install_binaries) and I generated an .iso
after that. Booting off that .iso, it seems to see my sata drive and puts it
under /dev/sda1 but the master script seems to hang when it runs parted.

This is the server I am using. I have used SI to clone this server many many
times. What distribution are you using? Does this distribution recognize
the SATA drive as /dev/hda or as /dev/sda?

You can try to re-compile the binaries but with a newer version of parted
(1.6.17 seems to work). You need to download the tarball and put it in the
src directory and also modify make.d/parted.rul to reflect the updated
version. Re-compile and it should work.
</>
I didn't need to update parted with 3.4.1, but then again I didn't have to do
this with 3.2.3 on this server either. I recommend you use 3.4.1 as it is
the latest stable. You can use this kernel for PE750:

and SATA drivers.
