The i386 (i.e., vanilla non-OSCAR-ized) LAM RPM from www.lam-mpi.org installs into a different place than the OSCAR RPM. Also, the profile.d scripts are not in the LAM RPM that's in OSCAR 1.2.1, nor are they in the vanilla LAM RPM. They are created in a post-install script in OSCAR 1.2.1. If the LAM RPM failed to install during the normal OSCAR install, I'm guessing that the profile.d scripts were also not created. Hence, if you try to run LAM programs, you run into Badness. > Ok - a possible feature for the oscar team is creating images for > pre-686 machines (which might also include a probe for the types of hd The group has decided to make all RPMs for future versions of OSCAR be for i586. So the new LAM RPM that is in CVS are i586. There's also a second LAM RPM that installs the profile.d scripts. You might want to browse to: http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/oscar/oscar/packages/lam/RPMS/ and download the following files: lam-6.5.6-usysv.1oscar.i586.rpm lam-profile-d-6.5.6-usysv.1oscar.i586.rpm Uninstall your current LAM RPM and install these two, and you should be good to go.

The main problem, actually, is that we don't have any low-end clusters to test on. Indeed, no one in the group has pure 586's to test on anymore (!). So even though we're going to be making i586 RPMs, we'll still only going to formally support i686 and document that "i586 *should* work". :-\ I'll let the other group members address your other comments -- they know more about the partition tables and whatnot than I. :-) {+} Jeff Squyres {+} [EMAIL PROTECTED] {+} http://www.lam-mpi.org/ _______________________________________________ Oscar-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/oscar-users
