Hi. The hard drive on our master node was dead last week. So we try to reinstall the Oscar again. At step 6(setup networking), I can successfully boot 7 nodes by using floppy boot(PXE boot is not working), but the other 8 nodes can't boot from the same boot floppy. The error message is "boot failed" or "it is not a boot disk". I tried to create nearly 10 boot disk, but all failed. Then I think it maybe the floppy drive problem, so I tried a new floppy drive for one node, but got the same result.
I don't know what is the other options for me to boot and install the clients. Most of the clients still have red hat 7.3 on it. I don't have the experience about SIS package. The options I can think about are 1) create a bootable cd and use cdrom to boot the client, but it will be tedious, because we need to install cdrom to each node. And how to use mkautoinstallcd? this command asks for some output file. 2) boot from the existing Red hat 7.3, then try to load the image from master. Thanks in advance for the helps.
