Dear Geoffroy, Thank you for the reply.
I've been used the "unstable" repo from here: http://svn.oscar.openclustergroup.org/trac/oscar/wiki/repoTesting I guess it changed recently so for 6.0.2 it is the "stable" one now? As to the local repository -- didnt work. Pacman did create the repository but oscar-config failed early in the bootstrap process complaining that it cannot get repos' architechture. -- With best regards, Grigory Shamov --- On Thu, 4/9/09, geoffroy.val...@free.fr <geoffroy.val...@free.fr> wrote: > From: geoffroy.val...@free.fr <geoffroy.val...@free.fr> > Subject: Re: [Oscar-users] OSCAR6.0.2 - nodes cannot find root partition - > local repos? > To: oscar-us...@lists.sourceforge..net > Cc: ga...@yahoo.com > Date: Thursday, April 9, 2009, 8:39 PM > Grigory, > > Since you say that you are using oscar-6.0.2, i assume you > are installing everything from SVN since binary packages are > not yet available (i am working on that). > > About the version of centos, yes you can actually update > the /tftpboot/distro/centos-5-x86_64.url file to explicitly > point to the 5.3 centos repository.
