No, the preloaded OS was Windows Vista, which we wiped, reformatted the harddrive, and put CentOS on it. So it seems CentOS has all the necessary driver and can run fine on the head node. > Also you might try using the drivers from the modprobe.conf on the > head node when imaging the disk.

Okay. > I have an example (with a lot of less relevant info also, sorry) here: > http://svn.oscar.openclustergroup.org/trac/oscar/wiki/TipLDAP I got hit on that page from my previous searches. That was what gave me idea to try using the modprobe.conf on the nodes (after it was installed). My other idea is to use CentOS DVD to boot the compute nodes, and then do an "upgrade" without reformatting the root partition. I wonder if that will somehow "fix" whatever is wrong. I'm still not sure what could be the cause of the kernel panic. Is it a driver issue ? maybe the "SATA" driver is not pre-loaded correctly during booting? any idea ? Thanks for the responds.
