Hi Danny:

What network cards are you using for your client nodes? Can you tell us what exactly happens when you try to network boot it? Did it try to get a DHCP request?

Cheers,

Bernard

The error that is at the bottom, is all I know about the error.  I followed the
instructions in the documentation, and I get that error when I try to boot my
client nodes.  For some reason the clients won't do a network boot, which is why
I am booting from floppy.  It looks like it is working.  It appears as though
files are being copied from the server to the clients, but then it fails with
that error at the bottom.


Danny-
I may have lost track- can you re-iterate your problem again? I can't make the connection between the rsync error I see below and changing boot order in the BIOS.
thx-

Is


there something else I have to keep in mind?


The problem with SystemImager you are discribing sounds sounds like a
disagreement in the documentation, not a problem with Oscar itself.  The
Oscar package (which heavily uses SystemImager as a component) has been
tested on RH 8 and 9 and works with them.  As I have said previously, I

did


not use an autoinstall disk when I put my cluster together, I changed

the


BIOS settings to use network booting instead.

From what I understand about the different flavors of Oscar, "Standard"

is


probably the right one to use. I am not sure what your problem is, but

I


don't think either of those things are it.
Original Message -----------------------
Mr. Edwards,

I read the SystemImager documentation, and it says that it only supports
RedHat
7.2.  However, OSCAR does not support RedHat 7.2.  How do I get around

this


problem? Also, when I am making my autoinstall boot disk from the

wizard, I


am
using the [Standard] boot flavor. Should I be using a different

flavor? If


so,
which one?

Thanks again,

Danny


I am using RedHat 8.0, and I installed it with No Firewall.

Quoting "Michael L. Edwards" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:


I network booted the computers using the BIOS settings, so I am not

sure


what

your problem might be. If you are working from a fresh install of

RH


9.0

you

might check and make sure that the firewall settings are "No

Firewall"


or

if

you need a firewall for the box that it is letting the services

through


that

Oscar uses (I know it uses ssh and rsync, there may be others). When

I


had

a

wierd problem with nodes not spawning, I had the firewall on "High"

which


was

blocking the packets from getting in.

Hey guys,

Ok, here is the error message I am now getting, when I attempt to
install the
clients by booting to the autoinstall diskette:

..
usr/lib/locale/tr_TR.utf8/LC_NUMERIC =>
usr/lib/locale/ar_SA.utf8.LC_NUMERICwrote 418333 bytes  read
553379293 bytes 1490706.93 bytes/sec
total size is 687633852 speedup is 1.24
rsync -av --numeric-ids 192.168.0.10::overrides/oscarimage/ /a/
receiving file list ... done
./
wrote 101 bytes  read 56 bytes 7.66 bytes/sec
total size is 0  speedup is 0.00
Illegal instruction

Let me know if you need to know any of the preceding output, to
diagnose.  It
looks like a whole bunch of files being copied from the server to
the client.

Thanks,

Danny
