Hi Brian: I don't think we're quite ready for 3.7.4 yet, there are some issues which we need to look at:
1) network performance issues with si_monitortk - currently the code in trunk provides full stdout so the virtual console is MUCH MORE useful. However, without --no-listing in si_mkautoinstallscript, performance is really bad. I have discussed with Andrea before about this, and I guess if people are okay with --no-listing then I guess this is not a huge deal. 2) Andrea recently added a new argument --kernel for si_prepareclient such that you can select a different kernel/modules path when generating the ramdisk with UYOK. The goal is such that you can run si_prepareclient in an image chroot (like for OSCAR images). The issue with this is the INSMOD list will end up being emtpy, because you're not running on a live system and if you boot a node with that ramdisk no drivers will be loaded - we need to get hotplug/udevd working to fix this. The rationale behind this is such that on a headnode/imageserver, you can use SystemIntaller to create images of multiple distro/architecture and if you like you can also generate UYOK kernel/ramdisk with these images. But until the issue I mentioned is fixed, this won't really be feasible. Perhaps there is a better way to do this? Maybe si_mkbootpackage? ;-) 3) There are also some minor issues with si_monitortk in regards to Tk portability issues between SUSE and Red Hat (Andrea knows all about this :-) ) Thanks, Bernard > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On > Behalf Of Brian Elliott Finley > Sent: Thursday, July 06, 2006 14:39 > To: Andrea Righi > Cc: SIS Devel; Bernard Li > Subject: Re: [Sisuite-devel] tag > > Ok, > > So clearly we've tagged 3.7.3.
