After completion of step 6 during the installation of OSCAR, I rebooted 1 of my nodes. At this time, I believed that a network install would take place. I have configured my nodes to boot first off of the gigabit card. When the node I rebooted, booted up, it successfully obtained it's correct IP. It then proceeded to wait. TFTP timed out, and eventually it tried to boot off of the hard disk. It does this every time. I have verified that the xinetd is running, and I have only booted 1 node. I cannot use the boot floppy option, because my server does not have a floppy drive, just a cd-rom. The only glitch I ran into, was when first running the ./install_cluster eth0 command, I received an error saying that the tftp that shipped with mandrake was incompatible with the OSCAR version of tftp. So I uninstalled the mandrake version and reran ./install_cluster eth0 at which time, it proceeded fine.
I am running Mandrake 8.2 on Dual 2.4 GHz Xeons. I have verified that from the server I can see all of the nodes. This is obvious because I was able to assign the MAC addresses for each of my nodes, to ip addresses. So my questions are 1) Has anyone had this problem before? 2) Was it a mistake to uninstall TFTP and let the OSCAR version take precedence? If so, where do I get a compatible version of TFTP? 3) Should I try the boot floppy approach, and if so how do I do this, if I do not have a floppy drive on the mother node ************************************************* Christopher D.
