im having problems simply booting after Step 6 of the oscar_wizard. after I completed setting up the network, and creating a boot floppy, i tried to reboot the compute node using the floppy. but the problem is that the network eth0 interface uses a different driver (e1000), instead of what the server uses (e100). thus I need to substitute the appropriate device driver in the boot image initrc.img.
i dont know to modify the SystemImage so that the appropiate eth0 device driver gets loaded. what happens is after booting the compute node via floppy, the DHCP lo device is listening for its ip assignment. the lo interface is the loop back interface. it uses this because the eth0 interface was never activated. so the connection finally times out. thanks ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bernard Li" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "B ob" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: RE: [Oscar-users] RE: NIC trouble Date: Tue, 26 Oct 2004 14:20:24 -0700 > > Are you having problems imaging your nodes, or simply booting after > deployment? > > Cheers, > > Bernard > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of B ob > > Sent: Tuesday, October 26, 2004 13:51 > > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Subject: [Oscar-users] RE: NIC trouble > > > > I have similar troubles now where the appropriate device > > driver should be e1000 not the e100 that the oscar server is > > running with. > > > > I see you added it to modules.conf > > > > but how to rebuild the initrd.img that resides on the /dev/fd0 ? > > > > Thanks, > > -Bob > > > > > > From: henkwitte <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > RE: NIC trouble > > 2004-10-21 08:08 > > > > Well, this did the trick (with thanks to Michael Edwards ): > > > > add to /etc/modules.conf > > > > alias eth0 lance > > options eth0 io=0x300 irq=5 > > > > > > Henk Witte > > > > >Hello all, > > > > > >I am trying to setup a small OSCAR test, unfortunately I do > > not have >machines with all the same hardware. > > >I have managed to install the server and two clients, but > > when rebooting >the clients, although eth0 comes >up ok, > > one of the clients fails with a message "pfilter : > > >/usr/sbin/ifconfig cannot find any interface", also >RPC > > does not start. > > > > > >When the system boots no eth0 interface shows with ifconfig > > -a > >I guess this is caused by having another NIC in this > > machine than in the >server / other client.
