Hi all, just to answer the question myself:
Apparently there is a difference between the V40z and the V20z NICs. But the problem was pure PEBKAC: the nfsd was debian stable, the libs were testing. I wonder what made the V20z booting and everything else. After i synced the versions, everything went fine. I booted he "official amd64 kernel" from http://www.informatik.uni-koeln.de/fai/download/amd64/ as well as costom kernels. So I can make a rather neat FAI annoncement: Another FAI cluster is up and running. My System now consists of just 3 Boxes, but when we will move in our new building in Summer, we'll get another 25-35 Boxes which will form an pure VX0z cluster running 2.4.27 openmosix in which the nodes will be connected via infiniband. FAI is really neat, I am so glad now to be back to FAI after fiddling around von Suses autoyast. Thanks to Thomas! Opensource is great! But I thing I do miss: Autoyast stores config data in a single xml File which be be edited which any xml tool. I found I nice with xemacs. Has something like that already been discussed here? kinds regard to everyone, Oliver Osburg -- ----- Oliver Osburg - Sysadmin Computerlinguistik ------ email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] phone: +49761 203 3356 note : All above is my opinion unless specified otherwise. 9:30, Computing Center: Mainserver died.
