Iban,
I'm guessing your scsi modules have not loaded. Watch your boot
process to see if the scsi hba ever registers and posts the devices
attached. If it doesn't show up then you need to have the driver module
for it. There are different ways to accomplish this depending on the
version of systemimager, kernel major release (2.4 vs 2.6) and of course
the brand and model of scsi hba you are using.
Basic question. Does the scsi drive (sda) appear at bios post time
as being present? That is the nice way of asking if the drive is plugged
in. I am sure you have checked that but it is worth asking just in case.
The Adaptec scsi hbas are pretty straightforward. The aic7xxx driver
for the older ultra160 cards based on the aic78xx/77xx chips. The
aic79xx for the ultra320 based on aic7902/aic79xx. These drivers are the
same in both 2.4 and 2.6 kernels. The LSI Logic scsi hbas can be a
little tricky since their drivers are not among the other scsi modules.
They exist in the drivers/message/fusion directory and are named mptbase
and mptscsih. They are paired and must both be loaded (mptbase first).
If the drivers exist in your boel_binaries tar ball and are not
being loaded you might have to drop them into your initrd "/my_moudles"
directory and driect them to be loaded with the INSMOD_COMMANDS script
in that directory. If you do this be sure the load order is correct:
1. scsi_mod
2. sd_mod
3. scsi hba driver modules
Using the LSI as an example you would want the scsi_mod.o (or .ko is
using 2.6), sd_mod.o (.ko), mptbase.o (.ko) and mptscsih.o (.ko) in the
/my_modules directory and then edit INSMOD_COMMANDS to read:
insmod scsi_mod.o
insmod sd_mod.o
insmod mptbase.o
insmod mptscsih.o
**change .o to .ko in all examples if you systemimager boot kernel is
2.6 based.
I hope that helps...

hello,
I try to install, a few pc's by PXE. The tftp, dhcp and pxe daemon
work fine, but when the init script of systemimager try to patitioning
the disk appears the next error:
>>/script/myscritp.sh
get_arch
Partitioning /dev/sda
Old Patition table for /dev/sda
Error : could not stat device /dev/sda
parted -s -- /dev/sda mklabel msdos
killing all running procces
I've used systemimager 3.4.1-1 and Peter Mueller kernel on a Fedora
because the original kernel from systemimager didn't support my
network card.
Any idea about this Problem??
Thanks
