Hi Mike:
It does appear that it is no longer necessary to update the kernel any more, perhaps it's fixed, but that's not the issue we're looking at right now :-)
If you have my version of pfilter 1.707-3oscar installed and enabled throughout the entire installation process, and all of the tests passed (specifically the parallel library tests like LAM/MPI, MPICH, etc.) then the test is successful and we can check this updated version into the repository since it works with Mandriva Linux 2006 and FC4 & 5.
Please confirm.
Thanks,
Bernard

Well considering that was my first full install on VMware with 5.0 (or
anything really) I think that went suprisingly well. I got to the
complete cluster setup stage before it barfed:
Something I did not remember to do, notably, was update the kernel
before I ran the wizard.
However I thought that would make it barf at the node install. The
node install worked correctly, though I did have to pull my network
cable because while it would boot off systemimager, it would end up
pulling its IP address from the uni network which immediately caused
systemimager to stop working. When I pulled myself off the network
for a minute or two the image was created and booted fine.
So I am not sure if this is the problem that was being fixed with the
new pfilter, the problem that I was supposed to update the kernel to
avoid or a new problem entirely...
