Hello, I am trying to use OSCAR 5 to install 8-client node + 1 master cluster. Each node is a Intel Core 2 Duo machine with SATA harddrive, base distribution in Centos 4.6 X86_64. With OSCAR, I just use the default setup for pretty much everything.
I set the client nodes to boot via PXE. When booting, it contacted the master node just fine and installation started. But for some reason, all clients failed with error message about: Parted cannot find file /dev/sda while trying to make partition, then dropped me to a shell. Unfortunately I cannot get the detail error message. For some reason when this happen the client no longer respond (ie. USB keyboard input does not give any response), and had to be hard-rebooted. I tried several time before giving up after the same thing happens all the time. Just for testing purposes, I tried booting Knoppix Linux test CD on the client and it can fine /dev/sda just fine. Plus on the master node, I install CentOS on the /dev/sda, and all the machines are exactly the same. Any help with this issue is appreciated.
