Understood. However, since OSCAR is image-based, it actually does not too a long time to re-deploy the cluster, so you can also consider using i386 for now and if you do upgrade your memory, re-image to x86_64 (hopefully by then we will have full support!) > Is Redhat 3 WS x86_64 fully supported and finally the one and > only SOLUTION ? RHEL 3 supports Itanium (IA64) *NOT* x86_64. These are totally different architectures. > Is RPMs rebuild under Fedora easy and fast? Did you have > links, trick ? If you're lucky, then all you need to do is re-compile all the OSCAR specific RPMs from the spec file provided by the SRPMs. This may be a bit daunting if you have not done something like this before... > With Fedore core 2 (and 3), we are encountering hardware > trouble with the sataraid 2410SA from adpatec.

If that's the case, I suggest you start with that.
