Restore image does not support the Intel I217-LM and the I210 GB Cards

The current Iso does not support the new Intel NIC cards.
Intel I217-LM
Intel I210 GB

I’ve tried to build a new restore cd, but I can not get all the downloads because some of the site are blocked.
Mainly Debian wheezy and Git

Will this ISO be updated?

It is based on Debian Jessie which has an old kernel (3.16) (I am assuming you are using restore CD 2.0.2 ?). I don’t suppose you could test if it works with a recent debian live system: http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current-live/i386/iso-hybrid/ ?

As work-around you can use any 32-bit Linux live system (preferably Debian based, e.g. Ubuntu) and download and run http://buildserver.urbackup.org/restore_cd_2.tar.xz (or build this yourself using the source checkout and ./update_restore.sh).

Where is the source checkout and ./update_restore.sh.

Git is blocked

I found the files attached to the wiki and I’m building a Vbox PC using the live cd. I’ll see if this works.

The build ran but kept failing on the ISO creation. this file did not exist

Can’t you try the debian live image linked above first? That would confirm a new cd build would fix it…

I tried the new live CD and it does not work. The network card drivers are not on this release.

The type of machine we have is the Dell Percision 7910

Try this one: https://www.urbackup.org/downloads/Restore/urbackup_restore-2.0.3-amd64.iso

It did not boot when I put it on a USB stick. The Linux did not want to mount the FAT32 file system. Could have been the specific formatting of my USB stick or a more general problem in Linux 4.7.x.

I found the same issue with my testing. It would not mount Linux file system.

That should work with USB-sticks as well:

https://www.urbackup.org/downloads/Restore/urbackup_restore-2.0.3-2-amd64.iso

The USB stick now mounts the file system but the network card drivers are not on this image. The Intel drives can be found at the following site.

Either it is in Linux or not. I won’t start compiling out-of-tree drivers.

I’ll continue to use a secondary PC which will be dedicated for restores until the driver become part of the Debian live CD.

I contacted Debian and asked if they have plans to update this driver.
