But you can get round it! Skip this step and try step 2 or 3. It will install the default packages all the same in the /opt/oscar/share/package_set/Default/fc-9-x86_64.xml file

It installs all the way togetting the image but it may be my network card support as fc10x86_64 kernel beta kernel does not come with support for the PCI Express Intel Gig Eth Pro 1000/PT So I tried yummimg the lastet kernel which does have support for the intel pcie pro 1000 pt e1000e driver and replacing the boot initrd and vmlinuz in the oscarimage .../boot dir But still no luck. But it's good that you got the GUI working in fc9 x86_64! You should be able to install your fc9 cluster now! Also ineach including the head node add these lines in /etc/rc.local /etc/init.d/network restart /etc/init.d/dhcpd restart You may have problems getting the network going with fc9 if you are using more than one ethernet card per node. After you do the above if only you have more than one eth card set the ifcfg-ethx in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts dir properly with mc addresses ip addresses etc. Allan Menezes >------------------------------------------------------------------------- >This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge >Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes >Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world >http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ >_______________________________________________ >Oscar-users mailing list >Oscar-users@lists.sourceforge.net >https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/oscar-users > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Oscar-users mailing list Oscar-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/oscar-users
