Hi,
I have an Intel SRCU42X raid controller that currently has firmware
version 414D. The bios flash was done by a "system update package", from
Intel which is an iso file that you can burn to a cd. The upgrade to 414D
went fine.
But the newest firmware version is 414I and is not available as a bootable
iso, only as a 414I.rom file (windows only etc.). So I thought: lets alter
the 414D iso to the newest 414I iso, and make a new bootable iso. But this
was harder than I thought.
I extracted the original iso file with file-roller and replaced the
414D.rom file with 414I.rom, and modified the .bat-files references from
414D to 414I. The files and directories in the original iso are:

drwxr-xr-x 2 marco wheel 512 Jan 6 11:19 [BOOT]
The SRCU42X directory contains the 414I.rom file, an irflash.exe update
utility and a run.bat batch file (running irflash.exe with reference to
the .rom file). The [BOOT] directory contains one file:
Bootable_HardDisk.img.
After that I tried to create the iso with:
root@yokozuna:/data2/tmp# mkisofs -r -J -b [BOOT]/Bootable_HardDisk.img
-hard-disk-boot -o raid.iso /data2/tmp
which gives an error: mkisofs: No match
First I thought the directory name [BOOT] was weird so I changed this to
BOOT. Running mkisofs -r -J -b BOOT/Bootable_HardDisk.img -hard-disk-boot
-o raid.iso /data2/tmp creates an iso, but when I burn this to a cd it
doesn't boot.
Strange thing also is the fact that the original iso has the size of
~17MB, but the created iso by me is ~10MB. So it seems I'm missing some
files.
So what am I doing wrong and what is the correct commandline to create a
bootable iso for flashing a raid controller bios?
Thanks,
Marco
