Does anyone know of an RPM or other package with an iSCSI Target for Linux kernel 2.6.22.7 on ARM architecture?

I found one RPM package for ARM, iscsi-3.1.0.3-3.armv4l.rpm. It installed without complaining, but it appears that it is only an iSCSI initiator. I tried it but it doesnt work, missing a library:

sh: /sbin/iscsi-device: /lib/ld-linux.so.2: bad ELF interpreter: No such file or directory

The LG NAS has ld-linux.so.3 instead. This is somewhat beyond my expertise. :eek:

Another option, I guess, would be to replace the OS with one that has built in iSCSI target support. It would have to work on ARM, specificly ARM926EJ-S rev 0 (v5l), or armv5tejl. Currently, it runs a Linux kernel with BusyBox v1.8.2 for basic utilities.

In case anyone is actually reading this, I will update.

I found several iScsi initiators for armv5tel but no target. So it seems I will have to compile my own. I have a steep learning curve to get through.

I have downloaded various sources for cross-platform building of Linux software and the iscsitarget-1.4.20.2.tar.gz source.

I have also researched a lot about ARM processeors and specifically mine, a Marvell Embedded Kirkwood 88F6281 processor (Feroceon). Ihe current kernel identifies it as ARM926EJ-S rev 0 (v5l), or armv5tejl. The package appears to have been built under an Orion Application Server, which I have also downloaded.

And I have downloaded builds and build packages for this and similar boards with this processor, such as the SheevaPlug.

I created a virtual machine and installed Ubuntu Linux Server on it to provide a build environment. Still working on it. :cool:
