Hi all,
I am trying to build a custom initrd which will be used for netbooting a xen server, which is located on an iSCSI disk.
Unfortunately I had no luck in getting this done.
So far I have set up DHCP, TFTP, iSCSI target and a diskless machine. I am able to boot the initrd that I have, which is a standard Debian Squeeze initrd with Xen.
But how do I customixe this initrd to make it load the iSCSI disk and boot from it?
So far I have tried many tutorials without any success. Has anyone done this before or knows how to do this?
TIA
Edit: When I run 'ipconfig eth1' command on the prompt of initramfs, then get the following output:

Unfortunately if I try 'ifconfig eth1', it appears that eth1 has no ip address.
No success on creating custom initrd with xen and iscsi for netboot
