You can grab them here:

 

http://www.bcgsc.ca/downloads/oscar/systemimager/

 

(note this is NOT released and are simply development RPMs that I built myself...)

 

You can grab either sets of RPMs, the "ips" one have support for a newer ServeRAID which you may not need, but they're identical besides that.

 

You don't really need SVN access to check code out, it supports anonymous checkouts...

 

For checkout instructions, see the wiki:

Rebuilding SystemImager is not that hard after you get the hang of it, but it does take a long time, so hopefully you have a fast machine...  Are you on x86_64 or x86?  For 3.6.3, I updated the x86_64 kernel to 2.6.12.2.  If you test the RPMs and it couldn't detect your hardware, you can let me know which module is needed and I can compile it in and see if it works for you.  Otherwise, UseYourOwnKernel may be your best bet.

 

Brian is working on his udev/UYOK branch which should be stablized soon...

 

Cheers,

 

Bernard

Sure, I'll take em :) Sounds like it's time to sign up for SVN access
though. 3.6 huh - i just upgraded to 3.5.3 today!

Yeah, I tried that before the first chroot, but this seems to be needed
earlier.

Thanks!

Bleeding edge sata cards like a 3ware 9550SX, and areca PC-X sata
cards. The problem is I'll keep needing to support the latest ones, so
I need to be able to do this myself.
