First of all, thank you for trying RedSleeve. Please note that the

count on that unreliable method and sign up to the list instead. :)
It sounds like your kernel might not have iSCSI drivers. What device
and
what kernel are you using? Unfortunately, due to most ARM SoCs until
very recently requiring a separate custom built kernel (certainly when
using kernels of the EL6 generation), RedSleeve doesn't ship with any
official kernels except for the Marvell Kirkwood (Sheeva/Guru/Dream
Plug).
If your device hasn't shipped with an iSCSI kernel driver, the only
solution
is that you build a custom kernel for your device with the iSCSI
initiator
support added.
The RedSleeve build farm uses Kirkwood (*Plugs) and Tegra (Toshiba
AC100)
devices with custom kernels which include iSCSI support, so as far as
the
userspace is concerned I can confirm that that works, as long as your
kernel has iSCSI initiator drivers available.
You can check if your kernel has iSCSI modules using something like the
following (output from one of my AC100s):
$ find /lib/modules/$(uname -r) -name "*iscsi*"
/lib/modules/2.6.38.8-1024-20111202-1/kernel/drivers/scsi/libiscsi_tcp.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.38.8-1024-20111202-1/kernel/drivers/scsi/iscsi_boot_sysfs.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.38.8-1024-20111202-1/kernel/drivers/scsi/iscsi_tcp.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.38.8-1024-20111202-1/kernel/drivers/scsi/scsi_transport_iscsi.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.38.8-1024-20111202-1/kernel/drivers/scsi/libiscsi.ko
