Hello again Bernard, After I read your message
I tried to boot the new computer using the boot cd of FC2 and the I couldn’t
recognized the hard disc! So I the problem is really
about FC2 doesn’t support my SATA disk L. But now I have another
problem. When I started installing my cluster I started width the FC3 but the
version of OSCAR of that time (4.0) didn’t
work well. So I made a downgrade for the operating system from FC3 to FC2 and everything
went fine. Now I have the following configuration OSCAR is version 4.0 and is
installed in /op/oscar-4.0 and I had a symbolic link (/opt/oscar pointing to /opt/oscar-4.0) that I use
when I launch OSCAR The rpm files used to
build the image are in directory /tftpboot/rpm-fc2-oscar-4.0 and I have a symbolic link (rpm) that points
to the directory (rpm-fc2-oscar-4.0) Suppose that:
The next time I started
Oscar will the odd database (generated by oscar 4.0) be recognized by the new
version? Thanks, Carlos From:

[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Bernard Li Hi Carlos: Why don't you try using the following
newer version of SystemImager and see if it works (note this is an unreleased
version): BTW, you probably want to make sure that
Fedora Core 2 supports your hardware - I would recommend using at least Fedora
Core 3 or 4 which will have better support for newer hardware. Cheers, Bernard From:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] on behalf of Carlos Jorge Gonçalves Hi, I’m setting up a cluster using OSCAR (version
4.0). Everything went fine and I succeeded in the
installation of one cluster with 3 nodes (the main node where OSCAR is
installed, and 2 client nodes). The problems come up when I need to replace one of
the nodes by another computer. This new computer come up with a network card from
Broadcom (model bcm57xxx 1/10/1000 Mbit/s). The original files to support the PXEBOOT
didn’t recognized this network card, so I download the drivers, download
a new version of systemimager
(version 3.6.2 that come up with kernel 2.6.12.2), and I also have downloaded
and installed the Linux kernel 2.6.12.2. I booted using kernel 2.6.12.2, compiled the network
card drivers, and I copied the drivers (bcm5700.ko) into the directory initrd_source/my_modules (of systemimager). Then I have compiled the new (first changed the
FLAVOR file) kernel
and initrd.img
files, and then copied then to the /tftpboot/ directory and create a
file with the MAC address of my network card (located in the directory /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/). The new computer has SATA disks that where not
compatible with the previous image that I had built for IDE disk. So I create a new image (the new systemimager files
had rename the mkautoinstallscript
to si_mkautoinstallscript
and mkrsyncd_conf
to si_mkrsyncd_conf
so I created symbolic links from si_mkautoinstallscript to mkautoinstallscript
and from si_mkrsyncd_conf to mkrsyncd_conf) Next I boot the new client, the client gets the
correct files (kernel,
initrd.img
and boel_binaries.tar.gz)
and the booting process continues. Then, when the partitions are being created I get the
following message for each of the partitions: “The program
parted is using a deprecated SCSI ioctl, please convert it to SC_IO” The partitions are created and the process continues
to end and the machine is ready to boot. I reboot the machine but the boot from disk fails and
the client node starts to download the image again. I’m using:
I really appreciate help because I don’t known any more what I should do L Thanks in advanced, Carlos Gonçalves |
