Hi Marc, which driver module has been used within your tests? In my version of netboot.tar.gz (initrd), the modules for LSI controllers (mptspi) were missing.
So even on a simple VMware VM, no disks have been detected. Regards, Robert -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Marc N [mailto:de...@rasqual.e4ward.com] Gesendet: Mittwoch, 2.

Netboot image unusable Hello all, Steve, what is the suggested resolution then? For testing, I booted the initrd's and kernels extracted from standard DVD and netboot iso's via PXE. While they cannot progress further for obvious reasons, by switching to tty2, /dev/sda does appear in the listing. Those do ship with the correct modules. 1/ What would be the negative aspect of removing the scsi modules from the exclude-udeb-* lists, following the package mergers mentioned before? 2/ Also, I'm not too familiar with how the netboot is constructed, is there another way to have these drivers bundled in the netboot tar.gz (CONF.sh?)? Best regards, Marc
