Hi All,
I've been trying to get a bunch of old P2's clustered together using Fedora
Core 5 and an old 10Mbit switch. The install has went relatively trouble
free upto this point. Once any of my compute nodes get successfully imaged,
they hang at the GRUB prompt on boot-up. The keyboard cursor blinks, but I
can't enter any input and the system just sits there.
I looked through the imaging log, and found a few errors relating to
software RAID drivers. Don't think it's the problem, but I'll paste the
output here aswell:
Load software RAID modules.
insmod: cannot insert
`/lib/modules/2.6.18-boel_v3.7.5/kernel/drivers/md/md-mod.ko': File exists
(-1): File exists
insmod: cannot insert
`/lib/modules/2.6.18-boel_v3.7.5/kernel/drivers/md/md-mod.ko': File exists
(-1): File exists
modprobe: module raid5 not found.
modprobe: failed to load module raid5
modprobe: module raid6 not found.
modprobe: failed to load module raid6
insmod: cannot insert

Load device mapper driver (for LVM).
Load additional filesystem drivers.
modprobe: module fat not found.
modprobe: failed to load module fat
modprobe: module vfat not found.
modprobe: failed to load module vfat
I also get some errors near the end of the log that are probably related to
this issue:
Editing files for actual disk configuration...

Installation finished. No error reported.
This is the contents of the device map /boot/grub/device.map.
Check if this is correct or not. If any of the lines is incorrect,
fix it and re-run the script `grub-install'.

Thanks Guys, any and all input/help is muchly appreciated. I would have
attached the full imaging install log to this post if I could have, but a
copy is not stored on the server I'm told, an I can't boot my compute nodes
to get at the local copy there..
