[SLE] iscsi install/boot questions/issues for SLES10-beta8

[Aggarwal, VikasX]

Hi all

I am trying SLES10-beta8 installation to iscsi-target.



When booted from SLES-10-beta8 installation Disk1, I could not goto
some iscsi-GUI to give iscsi-target IP and initiatorname. Is there a
iscsi-configuration-GUI/Menu available for the user during the install
time?

To be able to try installation to iscsi-target, I went to
command-prompt(ctrl+alt+f2) and loaded drivers(iscsi_tcp, e1000),
assigned static IP address, start iscsid, run iscsiadm -discovery +
iscsiadm -login. I could connect to the iscsi-target and had the
remote disk in the installation-partition menu. Main issue appears
after the installation is started and is in the middle. The machine will
freeze, can't do anything. I tried several times , and it always will
freeze before being able to finish the installation. Is it the
open-iscsi driver issue(version 0.5.473-11)? Or is there something I
need to configure properly to be able to install to iscsi-target? I am
just doing a minimal base system install.



Also I noticed through local-install that there is an open-iscsi support
in /sbin/mkinitrd of SLES10-beta8. Will installer automatically create
iscsi enabled initrd image, once it knows installation was made to iscsi
target?



Thanks in advance

Hi Yall:
How do you get hold of sles10 x86_64 , I have only the 32bit version , I
need to compile a cross compiler for it and need a copy of the OS to
endorse my cross compiler.
