Hello Paul, Kernel_picker is usefull once your nodes are installed. If they are not, then it is not useful.
>From what I understand, you can not install properly your node because the kernel/initrd used by System Installer does not have the proper module (e1000) or because your adapter is not properly detected ? If yes, please have a look here : http://www.revolutionlinux.com/downloads/OSCAR/Supermicro-P4SC8=P4SCi-en/ Some information is mandrake specific but the procedure is generic. To help the module detection, please modify Table.pm on the master node and on the image root. To generate a new kernel and initrd for SIS, please use the mkbootdisk.pl script. Please keep us informed of you progress/problems ;-) Ben * Paul English <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> [04-10-16 21:45]: > > > Hi, > I'm new to Oscar and setting it up for the first time.
