Hello All, I am working on for SLES9 installation to iSCSI disk and then booting from it. It is already working for RHEL4 linux. My procedure(for iscsi installation and boot-from iscsi-disk) required changes to "mkinitrd" for RHEL4 linux. While going through "/sbin/mkinitrd" of SLES9, i found "iscsi_boot" variable inside it. Now i wonder if i can find a doucment to teach myself to use this already-existing feature of SLES9 to enable iscsi boot. I installed on iSCSi disk. As i added the iscsi.ko and iscsid-daemon and related configuration files via driver-update-diskettes prepared using "dkms mkdriverdisk ....". But so far i had not been able to understand how to enable the iscsi boot for SLES9 in initrd. My NIC already has some iscsi expansion ROM which can get the iscsi_boot drive from DHCP server and it will scsi-read the grub-loader and initrd+vmlinuz. After that the iscsi-stack inside the initrd will take-over. From SUSE gurus i am trying to find out "how can I enable the alread-existing feature of iscsi_boot in SLES9 mkinitrd ?". regards -vikas aggarwal
