Hi,

Unfortunately, Oscar currently doesn't use Sali and I didn't found any sali
rpm or sali.spec file (for rpm building).

SALI is only the kernel and initrd.img. So in your tftp environment you have 
point to the SALI kernel and initrd.img.

Let's say for example your tftp directory is /data/tftp and you extract the SALI kernel and initrd to /data/tftp/sali then your pxelinux.cfg/default could look like:

LABEL systemimager
KERNEL sali/kernel
APPEND vga=extended initrd=sali/initrd.img root=/dev/ram 
MONITOR_SERVER=192.168.0.2 MONITOR_CONSOLE=yes VERBOSELEVEL=2


I've made a patch to current systemimager so igb driver is enabled in netboot
kernel

After testing, the netboot is fixed.

Hi,

As part of oscar deployment, I'm trying to use systemimager (svn=5510)
to boot my HP Proliant DL165 G7. Unfortunately, after pxe has booted,
the rcS in initrd fails to detect the 2 dual gigabit network adapter.
It loops on lo0 and ib{0,1}

Looking at systemimager-x86_64initrd_template-4.2.0-0.1svn5510.el5 and
/usr/share/systemimager/boot/x86_64/standard/config it seems that:
# CONFIG_IGB is not set

Thus, despite this kernel version supports this hardware, it fails to
see it. Exact hardware is NC362i (82576) Intel dual gigabit adapter:
vendorid:8086 prodid:10c9

That would be cool if that could be changed (or/and kernel updated) so
all new HP servers could be deployed without requiring UYOK.

That was our thoughts also, so we created a fork for the kernel and initrd.
Currently I'm busy with the new release 1.4.0 and the current trunk version
( 1.4.0-rc ) has been tested on the following systems:

   - PowerEdge m600, m610, m710, 1950, 1850
   - SuperMicro X7DBT
   - SUN X4500
   - HP DL2x170h G6, DL160G6, SE2210, XW8200

SALI uses the latest udev so all hardware detection is done automaticly. I
just created a 64 bit version of SALI and shall post this one on our ftp (
we already using this version for out systems ).

ftp://ftp.sara.nl/pub/sali/sali-x86_64-1.4.0-rc.tar.gz

You have to change some settings in your environment ( dhcp and master
script ) before you can use SALI. Because for some tools ( parted for
example ) are behaving differently due to a major version change.

Best regards.
