Hello,
OK. I'm volunteering to remove all reference to the service command in
OSCAR and do directly
/etc/init.d/$service (start|stop|restart)
instead of
service $service (start|stop|restart)

All of oscar needs to abandon the service command and do:
/etc/init.d/name [start|stop|whatever]
instead of:
service name [start|stop|whatever]
I found out that on all of the linuxes I looked at, /etc/init.d is
the
only path to the init.d commands scripts that works everywhere,
it is
either a linked-to or link-to the directory that has all the
init.d
command scripts.

Hello,
The SuSe support in OSCAR is not official ... yet.
It is very impressive that you manage to have the wizard running
(thanks
NCSA folks for this ;-) however the remaining step is a bit
complicated.
Can you please post your complete OSCAR version as well as you
oscarinstall.log ?
As fas as I know, some commands that are heavily in use in OSCAR does
not exists on SuSe, espescially the "service" command that allow to
stop/restart/start a service. This will cause failure in some scripts.
Another thing is the image building step and that's where you are
blocking right now. As I have already "ported" OSCAR to other disto, I
will try to explain my "methodology" :
1) Select only the minimal number of packages (only the core packages)
2) With this limited subset you will have to tweak :
a- The suse rpmlist (in oscarsample/suse-9.1-i386.rpmlist)
b- The config.xml of every package you have installed :
- base/config.xml
- c3/config.xml
- oda/config.xml
- perl-Qt/config.xml
- sis/config.xml
- switcher/config.xml
- sync_files/config.xml
All the dependencies (in the oscarsample/suse-9.1-i386.rpmlist) have
to
be solved. A quick way to have a working list is to list the rpm
installed on a given (minimal) system :
rpm -qa --queryformat "%{NAME}\n"|sort > my-list.rpmlist
Some packages are very distro specific, in this case :
* perl-Qt : Check that the rpm is working otherwise recompile
* switcher : Recompile for SuSe and modify the setup script
* base : Mofify the list of prerequisite for SuSe 9.1 (cut &
paste
the <filter distribution='suse' distribution_version='8.1'
group='oscar_server' /> section to make a
<filter distribution='suse' distribution_version='9.1'
group='oscar_server' /> section)
3) Once you have a working minimal subset, add one package at a time
and
check that it is installing and working corretcly
All in all, this is really a development task and I would be happy to
help.
Ben
PS : I would like to have some input from the NCSA folks, especially
about the service command and other problems they had with SuSe
support ?

Hello List,

install_cluster.sh) and
able to got the Wizard.
Till server Pkgs installation in the wizard, everything went
fine but
when i tried to make the cliebt image , it gave me a long
error.(got
it from "oscarinstall.log" file).
Then i tried to make my own rpmlist in respect of the pkgs
from
/tftpboot/rpm but it also didn't work.
The error it gives, "couldn't find (a long list of pkgs)"...i
tried to
add and remove the pkgs from the rpmlist file , but it was like a
loop
an didn't gave me any fruitfull output.
Is there anybody has tried to install oscar on any version of
