Hello Lin, I'm sorry, but you'll need to take an Opteron node to be the master. You can only manage nodes which are compatible to the master. For Opteron this means you can manage both, ia32 and x86_64. Then you'll need to have:
/tftpboot/distro/fedora-5-i386 /tftpboot/distro/fedora-5-x86_64 and /tftpboot/oscar/common-rpms /tftpboot/oscar/fc-5-i386 /tftpboot/oscar/fc-5-x86_64 Installing the Opterons will be easy and just straight forward. For installing the xeons you'll need to do some tricks. - copy /usr/share/systemimager/boot/i386/standard/kernel to /tftpboot/kernel-install-i386 - copy /usr/share/systemimager/boot/i386/standard/initrd.img to /tftpboot/initrd-install-i386.img - copy /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/default to /tftpboot/install-i386.pxe - edit the file /tftpboot/install-i386.pxe to point to the kernel-install-i386 and initrd-install-i386.img which you prepared in the previous steps. - set up /etc/netbootmgr.conf, get the install-i386.pxe file integrated. - start netbootmgr and switch the next boot action to install-i386 - boot and watch the xeon nodes... I hope this helps...
