Subject: [Udpcast] Drivers for my Intel Desktop Board DG31PR
Message-ID: <4701183A.1030405@verw.herder-forchheim.de>

Hello,

I've troubles getting my new workstation to run with UDP Cast.
There seem to be no fitting drivers for my onboard lan and storage 
(sata) controllers.

Here are some Details about the board I'm using:

LAN Support 10/100/1000 Mbits/sec LAN subsystem using the Realtek 
RTL8111-GR Ethernet Controller
-> He's offering me the Realtek RTL-8169 but they're unable to connect 
to my DHCP-Server although the connection
works perfectly under windows on the same machine

Chipset Intel® G31 Express Chipset, consisting of:
• Intel® 82G31 Graphics and Memory Controller Hub (GMCH)
• Intel® 82801GB I/O Controller Hub (ICH7)
--> Same here: No detection of any harddisc.

(Source: intel.com except the "-->"-parts ;-)

Has anyone an idea for me to get your great piece of software to run?

Thank you all very much,

Werner

Message-ID: <5ef6ff60710031541l6b68695cm3e832c209efe0dc3@mail.gmail.com>

I was trying to test UDPCast with 3 PCs, one of the receivers had a HD
smaller than the image of the sender...when it starts to download it
suddenly crashes...is this the standard behavior when we have a workstation
with this issue?

Looks like it's only me to have this problem ?

OK, remove -Wdeclaration-after-statement in Makefile.in, it works. So 
udpcast 20070602 is intended for gcc > 3.2.2 ? Or is there any other 
purpose ?

Thanks in advance.

Steven.

Subject: [Udpcast] deactivate bootp?
Message-ID: <0MKwh2-1IlMu132l3-0005T9@mrelayeu.kundenserver.de>

Hello,

 

i builded a initrd for udpcast with cast'o matic and one with the command
line tool. With both initrd

linux trys to configure ip settings with bootp, but i have no bootp server
in the network. Can i deactivate it

or change it to dhcp? In config file the makeImage program is dhcp switched
to "yes"


I tryed also to change the dhcpd.conf with the two parameters:

 

allow bootp;

allow booting;

 

but no success.

 

Any Ideas?

 

 

kind regards,

 

Markus

Hello all,

I had a quick look at Markus' problem yesterday.

The hardware we use contains two ethernet cards. One that is listed in
BIOS and can be configured for PXE-Boot (runs fine with the e100
driver) and one that can't be used for PXE.
We only connect the PXE capable card to our network.

As it turned out, the card that can't be used for PXE is detected as
eth0 and the other one is detected as eth1.
It seems that the initrd that is built with cast-o-matic as well as
the initrd that is built with the command line builder uses eth0 as
the standard network interface which leads to the phenomenon that has
been described by Markus.

So the question seems to be clear at the moment:
How can we configure the initrd to use eth1 as the standard network interface?

For starters it would be sufficient to have a quick hack on how to set
this for the initrd. On the other hand it would probably be a nice
feature to be able to set the network interface that will be used via
some dropdown menu in cast-o-matic as well as via some command line
switch for the command line tool.

Hopefully someone can shed some light on this issue.
I'm sorry for the inconvenience.

Kind regards,
Jens

Subject: [Udpcast] problem with SAS modules
Message-ID: <20071029154515.GM14909@pollo.upc.es>

Hi,

I'm trying to get udpcast to work via PXE with our machines.

Our SEAGATE ST973402SS (SAS) harddisks are not detected automatically by the
udpcast linux kernel, which I downloaded from

	http://udpcast.linux.lu/20070622/linux

> From the output of dmesg,

	SCSI subsystem initialized
	Fusion MPT base driver 3.04.01
	Copyright (c) 1999-2005 LSI Logic Corporation

and the output of lsmod, I am guessing that the right module for the HD is
'mptsas'.

Hence, I guess I need to compile a kernel for udpcast. I read in your website
that one should use your boot image generator. However, this tool is only
distributed as a RPM binary. When using Debian's 'alien' tool to convert the
RPM to a .deb package, I get:

	dpkg-gencontrol: error: current build architecture amd64 does not
	appear in package's list (i386)

which makes sense, since our arch is amd64.

What's the most intelligent way to go from here? Should I get a hold of the
sources for udpcast-mkimage-20070622-1.i586.rpm to build udpcast-mkimage
myself? Where are the sources available? 

Is there an easier way to go about all this?

Thanks a lot,
/P
