Hi
I actually did the following thing as you said and also the file in the
specified path below is not there so i created one and copied the contents as u
said and booted the node. It does load the cciss module while the kernel is
loading but still it says the following:
The kernel doesn't seem to recognize any of the disks and its unable to
partition the disks.
I also tried what paul had written. Basically my server has a broadcom
interface and my client node has a intel network interface (e100). I have
2.6.9-5.EL loaded in my server and oscar-5.0 is my cluster software. Once
cluster software configuration is done i boot the nodes and network gets UP,
but the partition creation doesnt work and the systemimager's autoinstall
fails. Any help?
regards
arun

If it uses cciss, you can do something like the following:
Edit this file so that systemimager tries to use the cciss module
---/var/lib/systemimager/scripts/pre-install/01all.load_sata_driver ---
#!/bin/sh
#
echo
echo "loading cciss driver"
echo
modprobe cciss
Then try booting the node. If you get a kernel pannic, write your own
kernel module. You mentioned broadcom nics at one point I think so
this might work. Paul may have a better suggestion for the
modprobe.conf file devices and names. This is based on an example
that worked for my dell nodes which use different drivers entirely...
---/var/lib/systemimager/overrides/oscarimage/etc/modprobe.conf ---
alias eth0 bnx2
alias eth1 bnx2
alias scsi_hostadapter cciss
alias usb-controller ehci-hcd
As far as the "right answer", it is whatever gets you working as soon
as possible. There is some traffic from Erich Focht on how to alter
SIS so that your module gets detected automatically, but for an
individual user this answer is much easier and works just as well as
long as you know what modules need to be loaded.
