Re: [Oscar-devel] "parcial success" with RHEL 3 *AS* (ia64)

[Fernando Laudares Camargos]

Hello David,
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.

There are no "actual rpms" for these packages.  I had to build these...
OK, I was able to rebuild PVM from the sources, but not GANGLIA (I tried 
a source of rrdtool i find but that doesn't worked). I did a second 
installation with pvm-ia64 but it doesn't worked. Maybe you can send me 
your's and I can try them here too.


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

The first 4 are U2- v V3+ differences.  I'd like to include the U2
rpmlists so users can manually select them (with the default still being
the current (U3) versions.
I agree with you, we could provide a separate rpmlist to be manually 
selected for those aiming to use U2...


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.
So, I guess tftp-hpa isn't working?  Perhaps we need to ditch that old
thing and go back to the netkit version.  Erich Focht also used
tftp-server on ia32 rhel.
Yeah, tft-hpa isn't working. "To 'ditch' it, we need" :-)

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).
Where is your elilo.efi?  In /boot/efi? On U3, it's in
/boot/efi/efi/redhat/
Did you still manually copy the initrd, as described in the current ia64
readme?
Our elilo.efi here is under /boot/efi/EFI/redhat. Don't ask me why.
Yes we have to manually copy inidtrd as described in the readme, but 
even that isn't enough: once the image is "downloaded" we have to copy 
"\EFI\redhat\elilo.efi" to "\" and them "elilo.efi 2.4.21-15.EL" to 
start it - I'm sure you should known a better (automatized) way to do 
that, but I don't known yet...

I'm done for today but will be ready for more "testing time" tomorrow 
morning.

Cheers,
