Hi all, yesterday we had to reboot our cluster, and today one of the machines refuses to boot. When grub kicks in, the screen just shows "GRUB " (without the quotes), and stays there.
I have no idea what is happening (I dont' have sufficient knowledge of GRUB), but it is very strange. The golden client gets replicated to (as far as I can tell) 15 identical machines. Last time (previous to this one) I rebooted the cluster there were 2 machines showing a similar problem (nodes 11 and 12), then I rebooted the whole cluster again and this time node 5 joined the other two (but booted correctly on first reboot). Today it is node 13 that is refusing to get past the GRUB message... The other machines boot perfectly. Ah.. one of the machines (I think it was node 5 showed a different behaviour: instead of just showing GRUB and staying there, it wrote GRUB continiously to the screen, filling it completely). Any ideas what could be wrong? Last time I simply reinstalled the problematic machines and all was well, but that's not a possibility for the future: I have PVFS2 installed in the cluster, and losing the data in one of the nodes means losing the data of the whole cluster... Thanks in advance for any help with this.
