I'm trying to set up a RHEL4U4 cluster - and am having some problems
that seem similar to those seen by Sylvia Gelman this same week.
I found a technical note/whitepaper from Dell describing a possible
workaround to the multiple ethernet NIC problem - see
http://linux.dell.com/files/whitepapers/nic-enum-whitepaper-v2.pdf
There are some details lacking about the solution - it describes
adding 2 lines to pxelinux.cfg/default (which really means changes
to /etc/systemimager/pxelinux.cfg/syslinux.cfg):
IPAPPEND 2
APPEND ksdevice=bootif
A few things are unclear on this to me, not being a PXE expert.
1) Should these parameters be repeated for all the LABELS
(systemimager, kernel,linux,boel)?
2) What order should they be in (prior to the existing APPEND keeps
the si_monitor happy, post keeps it from working)
I've tried a number of different locations and repeat counts and am
getting failures to reboot after successful imaging.
Currently I fail with a kernel panic... the final few lines on the
console show:
Loading ext3.ko
Creating root device
Mounting root filesystem
mount: error 6 mounting ext3
mount: error 2 mounting none
Switching to new root
switchroot: mount failed: 22
umount /initrd/dev failed: 2
kernel panic - no syncing: Attempted to kill init
This looks like it is not related to the NIC issue, but rather a disk
mounting issue. During the imaging phase it appears that the disk was
properly partitioned and a filesystem was created (mke2fs was used to
make the filesystem).
