They do. Yeah, updating the kernel to the latest version and using UYOK is the easier route. I assume fc6 has an updated kernel. > Just adjust the ram disk size.

On the other hand, I do not see why you can't simply install Open MPI on the PS3 and have them work with your other nodes. Though not sure how well MPI code will run across different architectures. BTW, to show your support for OSCAR, you can always register your cluster! I updated the registration page so that you can put in "OSCAR 5.1" and "Fedora Core 6": http://oscar.openclustergroup.org/register Cheers, Bernard ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
