Title: Re: [Oscar-devel] RE: OSCAR 4.0 on FC3

Hi Shekhar:

 

You mention all the PBS and PVM tests failed - does that include both MPICH and LAM/MPI tests?

 

Is /home properly mounted on all the nodes?  Also some times the tests failed the first time and passes on subsequent runs - you can give that a try too.

 

On my system everything passed except for LAM/MPI and which said [SKIPPED], not exactly sure why.

 

Cheers,

 

Bernard

Hi Bernard,

First, a very happy new year to you and thanks for the prompt reply. The
booting problem got solved by booting off FC3 CD 1 in rescue mode
(typing "linux rescue" at the boot prompt). Once dropped in the shell, I
issued the following commands:

chroot /mnt/sysimage

grub-install /dev/hda --recheck
grub-install /dev/hda

So i was able to finish upto the "Complete Cluster" step. But while
testing, all the pbs and pvm tests failed (ssh and pbs queue test
passed). Im trying to investigate what went wrong. In the meanwhile any
hints from you would be very useful

thanks again
Shekhar
