TCore PXE scsi module embedding question
« on: October 02, 2015, 03:41:06 AM »
Hi there,

Have been going through the docs, but can't seem to find an answer on this one:

I have set up a PXE server that's serving my remastered version of tinycore.
Basically added some scripts using this resource: http://sirlagz.net/2011/05/17/how-to-remaster-tiny-core-linux/

The thing is: now i need to add scsi support so i can see my drives in vmware, but that seems to fail miserably when merging scsi-3.16.6-tinycore64.tcz and/or scsi-3.16.6-tinycore.tcz into the initrd.
although when i look for scsi in the dmesg, i can see scsi 1:0:0:0 CD-ROM NECVMWar VMWare SATA...
Which is completely weird since it's SATA o.O'

Anyways, any thoughts on how to embed the scsi .tcz extension in the initrd, and getting it to load properly?

Thanks!

The VMWare pvscsi driver is built-in - you only need the scsi extension if your VM is set up to use some other adapter.
The only barriers that can stop you are the ones you create yourself.
