Hi Bernard,
> 1) Did it say something like
DISK=0? If so, then that means the SystemImager kernel could not
detect your hardware. But before we jump to conclusions, perhaps you
can post more verbose messages from the failed imaging attempt. The
virtual console (from "Monitor Cluster Deployment") should provide you
with some additional info, but best bet is from the console of the node
being imaged...
Yes, it said that. But I ran the first part of the
FC5 install CD just to be sure everthing was detected, and it did detect my
harddisk. One unusual thing though, is that FC5 said something like "Partition
table on sda is unreadable" and asked if I wanted it recreated -- I don't recall
seeing that before. But otherwise, sda is definitely there. (Note: I did not run
the FC5 install procedure, i.e. I didn't actually install
anything.)
I'm going to try it again -- I got the nodes
deleted.
Ok, I tried again, and the same thing. Everything scrolls by so
quickly, and the last thing that I see at the top of the screen
is:
DISKS=0
>Geoffroy has already answered you regarding the
partition stuff - you probably want to tweak the swap partition size
though.
To delete an image, see here:

3)
The Delete OSCAR Clients button got moved to the "Management" interface,
see:
http://svn.oscar.openclustergroup.org/trac/oscar/wiki/OscarWizard
But
I have gotten enough request that I think I should put this button back in
installation moede... I just need to find a "good" place to put
it!
Yes!!! This was *extremely* confusing, especially since there
was no reference to this management mode anywhere!
>4) If your
network card doesn't support PXE, you have 2 options: either as Geoffroy
suggested, build an autoinstallation CD, your second option is
etherboot:
They can PXE boot.
BTW, we will be adding
more documentation in the Wiki, so hopefully you won't feel as lost trying
to get our development release working!
It's good to
know about that Wiki! I'll try to read through
it.
