With current OSCAR versions, you need to get a new kernel and initrd to replace the ones that come with System Imager in /tftpboot/ in order to support your newer hardware. I know that the SI team has cranked out custom kernels in the past upon request. There are SI developers on this list, so they should see this and respond.

hello:
Now I am using OSCAR kit to construct a cluster . I have
12 homogenous nodes.I installed the RedHat9.0 in a node
that will work as the server node(or master node) .The
node has a integrated NIC,and its type is bcm4400.The
RedHat 9.0 doesn't support it,so I download a driver .
After I installed the driver of bcm4400,all is Ok.
I started OSCAR install.In the step 6,when I installed the
client nodes,the client nodes cann't complete install.
In the client nodes,the part useful message is as follows:
"
#ifconfig_loopback
#load_my_modules
#read_local_cfg
#checking for floppy diskette
#you may see some "wrong magic" errors here, and that is normal.
#no floppy diskette in drive
.........
.........
#starting_network
#IP address not set by local.cfg, I will use DHCP
#sleep0
#sending on LPF/lo/<null>
#sending on socket/fallback/fallback-net
#DHCP is cover on lo to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 7
#DHCP is cover on lo to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 17

#no DHCPoffers received
#no working lease inpersistent database sleeping
#I couldn't configure the network interface using DHCP.

"
In the client shell,I input the command 'ifconfig',
only the 'lo', doesn't have 'eth0';
I wanto know this is why? if the client node need the
module of the bcm4400.o,but the server node doesn't send
it? how I can config the client nodes NICs?
also other reasons?
Thank you for answers!
