Hello,

I tryed to install OSCAR 4 (2786) in a "Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 3 (Taroon Update 2)" with the "official" rpmlist that David provided (for WS, U3). Here are some notes:

1) First, I had to unselect ganglia and pvm (the actual rpms doesn't worked for us (ia64), which I don't know if would invalidate the "support" for this architecture.

2) Second, I had to modify redhat-3as-ia64.rpmlist in the following way:
   - bind-libs
   - laus-libs
   - ltrace
   - rpm-lib
   + ssystemimager-server
   + perl-XML-Simple

3) I had to download, install and "turn on" a copy of tftp-server-0.32-4.ia64.rpm, otherwise I couldn't push the imagefile do the client.

4) I also had to do modifications in some configurations files to attend our specific hardware needs ({DISKORDER}, client's modules.conf and ethernet adaptor choice, elilo, etc).

5) Final step 8 (test_cluster) completed successfully (although I had to run it twice because MPICH (via PBS) still faills in the first try).

The question is: i don't known if the succesfull of the tests are enough to say that OSCAR 4, with some modifications, works for RHEL3 AS in ia64. I also don't known if my modifications in Dave's rpmlist are harmless for this specific distro or not.

        Regards,
