I had forgotten FC8 was so close to release. I might hold off until the week 
after it releases, when I have a few days spare to give it a try... unless 
those with the knowledge think the kernel panic is not a simple fix, in which 
case I might give FC7 a go instead.
   
  BTW: Where is the upload area you mention?
   
  Cheers,
   
  Steve.

  Hi Steven,
   I have installed a cluster of 8 nodes and 18 CPUs with fc7 x86_64,oscar 5.1. 
You may have problems when running ./install_cluster ethx but these are easily 
resolved by yum install package missing in fc7 x86_64 repo. I built the rpms 
for fc7 x86_64 using Eric Focht's build_oscar_rpms package. You can do the same 
and add to the repo. I also built the rpms using Oscar's build_oscar_rpms 
script by Eric Focht but I messed up the upload. If somebody could clean  it up 
it would be nice. I am currently very busy with other things to try that.
Good Luck! Enjoy!

Sorry about the double email but the new rpms I built which are > in number 
than fc7 are for fc8 x86_64 test2. They should work with test 3 or the release 
of fc8 but there is modification to be made to the /etc/redhat-release file for 
it to work. For now you have to trick Oscar 5.1 into believing it is fc7 and 
not fc8 to get fc8 working unless someone modifies a script to allow fc8.
Change /etc/redhat-release using vi or emacs to Fedora release 7 (Moonshine) . 
After you have installed your cluster you can change it back. But I had 
problems with kernel panic booting the compute nodes in fc8 for four test nodes 
so i gave up till the kernel becomes stable.

    I am about to reinstall my cluster and was wondering what version(s) of 
Fedora are currently supported. Oscar 5.0 is FC5, which is what I had on the 
there to start with. I was hoping to use a later version of FC in the hope that 
the sound-card might actually work. I notice the nightly builds have a fc7 
x86_64 archive, although its small size makes me wonder if it has everything it 
needs. Also, I haven't heard much on this list recently over how usable the 
5.1a (for alpha?) nightlies are. Is there an ETA for 5.1 (or even 6.0)?
   
  Cheers,
   
  Steve.
   
  PS: I am happy to compile packages on FC7 x86_64, although I am no Linux 
expert (so it either works or, if google can't help, it doesn't).
