Hello all, Working on PelicanHPC, I have found that ISO images always boot on diverse hardware, but that the same configuration used to make a netboot image sometimes fails to boot. I personally have seen the netboot image fail on a Dell desktop machine, while loading firewire drivers. Users of PelicanHPC inform me that netboot sometimes fails while loading scsi drivers. This problem is very much the exception to the rule - things almost always work well. For PelicanHPC, the netboot images are only used to boot compute nodes, and the only resources used on the nodes are the CPU and the memory, so support for device drivers is mostly not needed. Is there a way to configure a netboot image that maximizes the chances it will boot without encountering hardware problems by disabling probing for hardware? Will the livefailsafe boot option help?
Thanks, Michael
