in the rpmlist file, put off lilo and place grub...that's all for me..

Objet : [Oscar-users] Oscar 4: LILO problem?


Hi,

after several problem (and day spent) installing a little cluster (HP
DL380Gr
head, 5 DL140 compute nodes) with Oscar 3.0, I'm trying with Oscar 4.0 which
have fixed the kernel problem with Tigoon3/broadcom driver.

The system TFTP boot ok, download the image and ask me for reboot. At the
reboot, the system hang to a booting 2.4.20-8smp. (just only one dot at the
end...nothing else :-)

I did another install, and this time I've pressed CTRL-C to stop "beeping"
and
access a console. I've mounted / in /mnt  and /boot  in /boot (uh :-)
partitions, chroot /mnt /bin/sh  and I manually reinstalled lilo
(/sbin/lilo)
At the reboot, the system hang to a booting 2.4.20-8smp. Same as above. The
same with other images.

I've noticed that suggested partition table is strange, only 24 MB for boot,
and 128MB for swap (1Gig RAM):  I copied default disks.ide to a custom file.
Rebuiliding image failed...so I modified conf file for node 00 manually. It
look like the original buth with boot = $start + 128, swap = $latest + 2048
and / = $disksize - 32768 (I've 80gig ide disks)

Where's the problem? Wrong kernel? wrong LILO conf? wrong fstab? how can I
fix
it?

notice:

installing Oscar 4 over an Oscar 3, unless with a step_over and rm
-rf /opt/oscar hang at Step 3: installing server packages. I've found a
workaround installing manually some server packages with

 rpm -ivh --force oscar* torque*686*

and then restarting step 3.  Hope this havn't broken my Oscar installation
;-)

thank you in advance

 ivan
