The client node is not a copy of the head node. It is built from the rpmlist provided in the "build client image" step. It is a stripped down install by default (no xwindows for example).
The UYOK function only copies the kernel and initrd files to the image from the head node. There are often two versions of the kernel installed, one which is an Multi-Processor (SMP) kernel and the other which is only for single processor machines. OSCAR puts both of these kernels in the grub menu, but if one of them doesn't work you can edit that config file by hand and push it back out to the nodes. If you do something like the following on the head node as root. 1) copy the grub file from the compute node to the head node "scp oscarnode1:/etc/grub.conf /tmp" 2) edit the compute node to change the default to the other number (I believe the first entry in the list is numbered zero, but I might be wrong) "vi /tmp/grub.conf 3) Push the corrected file out to all the compute nodes "cpush /tmp/grub.conf /etc/grub.conf" Thats a fairly good procedure for changing any files on the compute nodes. Perhaps someone with a better understanding of UYOK can help you with something besides a work around. Also, it might be helpful to others if you post a description of your installation problem and how you fixed it to the list in case other people hit the same bumps (or perhaps so we can flatten out the road).
