Hello, I was able to fix the problem by adding a modprobe.conf to the image and running the sequence Martin suggested. I left out the lines containing the amd74xx module. For some reason the kernels involved in installing oscar recognize the amd74xx module even though it is compiled directly in the new kernels. Anyway I am able to rsync the slave nodes now. I do however, face a new problem.
The ssh system is broken. The automatic ssh logon between nodes is nonfunctional. I am not sure if this is an issue with the current release of oscar. Also, as reported before the Select Packages to Install is nonfunctional. Thank you for the help in solving this problem, Chris Pawela -----Original Message----- From: geoffroy.val...@free.fr [mailto:geoffroy.val...@free.fr] Sent: Friday, July 17, 2009 3:14 PM To: Pawela, Christopher Cc: oscar-devel Subject: Re: [Oscar-devel] Testing Latest Release Pawela, Can you send me the logs related to the installation of selected packages? I do not think i received a full log to try to fix the problem (or i missed it). Also, can you try to add the "alias scsi_hostadapter1 amd74xx " line to the /etc/modprobe.conf of your image (what Martin suggested).
