[Udpcast] Problem cloning sata-disk

Most likely it is a kernel support problem. I have been handling the g4l 
project, and ran into a similar problem. The older kernel 2.6.15.6 would 
support some SATA configurations that later kernels would not support. 
Eventually working with the git kernels, I was able to get newer kernels that 
would once again support the controllers.

I do include udpcast as a receive option on the menu of G4L, since its 
compatible with images created by udpcast. There are copies of both the 
udp-sender and udp-reciever programs on the cd. You might want to boot 
from the g4l cd, and see if it recognizes the drives and controller.

ftp://amd64gcc.dyndns.org/g4l22beta-01-10-2007p.iso

After the in boot, you would select the latest kernel by endering 
bzImage20p
That is the latest one on that image, thou I have another image that has two 
additional git kernels that came out after the 1/10/07.
After it loads and boots to the command prompt, you could check if it sees 
the drives.
cat /proc/partitions

I use the g4l to make the images on my ftp server, and then generally use 
the udpcast to image all the machines in my computer labs at the college.
