Hi,
I've written the specifications for KernelPicker on the trac wiki :
http://svn.oscar.openclustergroup.org/trac/oscar/wiki/KernelPicker

This include a few new tables for ODA and some methods more. On the outline, I put these new methods into new classes but in the current ODA, all methods belongs to the same big class. Maybe it is better to keep the current way even if this class is becoming bigger and bigger ?

Maybe somethings things can miss but it may be enough to figure out the way I see KernelPicker. IMO, a complete rewrite is necessary, because the current version does not interface with any of the OSCAR components : Packman, ODA, or SIS.

I have time to spend on it. Our goal is to have a new SSI-OSCAR version based on Kerrighed as soon as the latter is released. That should be done in a few weeks but we don't know exactly when. For SSI-OSCAR to be useful, it seems that KernelPicker should be fully functionnal, as I described it into the wiki :
- support bootparams management for each node
- select kernel package selection through capacities (SMP, SSI...) and using PackMan - support kernel deployment with PXE or in local (through SystemInstaller as it does the whole job, and quite well : can you confirm ?).

So, when do you plan OSCAR 5 to be ready ? I can help to make KernelPicker ready for OSCAR 5. The idea is to make SSI-OSCAR a simple package for OSCAR and not a package plus a hack. I think this can be done only if KernelPicker is ready, isn't it ?

Regards,
Jean

Hi Jean:
I'd like to know the plan for the next release of SSI-OSCAR - are you guys planning to support OSCAR 5 once that is available? Also, it sounds like you'll need kernel_picker to be working - do you think you can help us get it to a working state for OSCAR 5.0? I know that Erich is also working on this and the code is already checked into the code repository:

http://svn.oscar.openclustergroup.org/oscar/pkgsrc/kernel_picker/
What other requirements do you need? ODA...? Thanks, Bernard ------------------------------------------------------------------------
