Hi Carlos:
It doesn't really matter
whether you use scsi or ide .disk file as this will actually be determined for
you (whether your system uses sda or hda) on the fly. This therefore
allows you to use the same image on cluster nodes that have either SCSI or IDE
disks. This is an enhancement we have contributed to the SystemImager
project.
Back to your issue with SATA
disks... can you give us the error log if you use Peter Mueller's
kernel? That is probably your best bet giving the fact that SystemImager
3.5.3 is bundled with OSCAR 4.2.1.
SystemImager 3.6.3 and the
soon to be released 3.7.3 have a new functionality called UseYourOwnKernel which
allows you to use your existing OS' kernel along with a generated initrd.img
that should allow it to recognize the hardware during imaging, as long as the OS
supports it. This is a very powerful new functionality that should
potentially solve all hardware module related issues we have been having so far
with SystemImager.
Are you currently doing
testing? Because a newer version of SystemImager is included in OSCAR
trunk, so perhaps you can test that out... it is known to work with RHEL4

Also we could use some more
testers... :-)

Subject: [Oscar-users] SATA DISKS
Hello,
We are triying to create a cluster with new SATA
machines, and we are
not able beause sis doesn't find the disk.
We are
using oscar 4.2.1b5 and RHEL4, and check that /tftboot/kernel is
the same as
t http://world.anarchy.com/~peter/systemimager/.
<http://world.anarchy.com/%7Epeter/systemimager/>
I
am a bit confused about the /oscarsamples/*.disk to use, scsi or
ide?
Thank
you,
Carlos
