Jeremy, I'm having some problems upgrading one of my Linux clusters here at Shell. Its the cluster you put together for us. The cluster has a head node with SCSI drives and half the node (nodes 1-8) are SCSI devices, and the other half are IDE devices. I'm running RH9.0 with OSCAR3.0. when I boot the SCSI node1 I get the system to install the image without any problems but the problem occurs when the system boots up. It fails at the e2fsck stage. The message I get is it complains about /dev/sda6 being mounted and can not continue, then it throws me into repair mode. I believe the problem is related to the image (kernel), since this occurs on five of my eight SCSI systems. Do you know what the problem is?
This is strange that it's inconsistent behavior on the same type of system. Is there *anything* different about those 5 systems that you know of? Is this the first time you've loaded them w/ OSCAR 3? Just to be clear, you have a SCSI based head node, 8 IDE based nodes working, 3 SCSI based nodes working, and 5 that fail?
Also, I started recovering the oscarimage scripts from the backups from the previous OSCAR installation and I noticed there is a scsiimage and an ideimage for the NAME.master file. I recovered these files and tried to boot up the first node, I did get further but now it complains about /dev/sda6 where it could not mount it on /a, no such device. I also tried to boot from the old floppy disk (RH7.1) and it errors with "Unknown module scsiinodes". scsiinodes is what you called the NAME.master script. Any ideas what the problem is here or where to find this modules?
Hmm.. I have no idea about this one. Perhaps someone from the oscar users list will know.
Jeremy
Any help would be appreciated....
