I'm building a ten node oscar5.0 cluster. I have all dell precision 490's I'm running redhat el ws 4 u4 x86_64. The drives are SATA drives. Head node and oscar installation goes fine when I reboot the compute nodes that all end up with the following. Mounting root filesystem Mount error 6 mounting ext3 Mount error 2 mounting none Switching to new root Switchroot: mount failed 22 Umount /initrd/dev failed: 2 Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init.
Head node and all the computer nodes are brand new exact hard ware copies of each other including controllers and drives. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of DongInn Kim Sent: Friday, December 07, 2007 11:58 AM To: oscar-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [Oscar-users] full installation of FC3 Hi Michael, BTW, most oscarsamples have xorg-* by default and they would be installed on the client nodes, right? So, there may be some x related dependency problems if Jilin needs to install Xwindows program but it won't be a big problem. But as Michael mentioned, I would like to confirm how this affects the performance of the cluster. Basically I would like to use the gui access/controls of the client nodes if the performance is not badly affected.
