Steve,

Sorry, been busy.  Yes, I got your contributor agreement, thx.  You can now
submit code changes.  You should work directly with Xu Qing
([email protected]), because he's also been working on ubuntu and debian
support for xCAT and you should coordinate your efforts.  He can review
your submissions and commit them to svn for you.  Thx.

Subject:        [xcat-user] Progress on Debian Installs/Question about
            contributor agreement



Hey all,
     I made some progress on debian installs using xcat and wanted to
make sure it was documented somewhere searches might find it.  So, in
response to my missing files issue:

# nodeset node001 install=debian6.0.6-x86_64-compute
Error: Install image not found in /install/debian6.0.6/x86_64
Error: Some nodes failed to set up install resources, aborting

The thing to do is download the debian netboot tarball (available here
(http://d-i.debian.org/daily-images/amd64/daily/netboot/), for testing),
untar it and copy debian-installer/amd64/initrd.gz and
debian-installer/amd64/linux to
/opt/xcat/share/xcat/install/debian/debian6.0.6Images/  (where you
replace 6.0.6 with your version, obviously)

Caveats:
One big one: I haven't successfully booted a node using this yet.  My
hardware falls over on USB discovery. I'm going to try to find some
other hardware and give it a shot with that.  If that doesn't work, its
on to other versions of debian....


Finally - I sent in my contributor agreement yesterday.  Should I expect
to hear back from someone about it, or is having sent it in sufficient
for me to start submitting code changes?

Steve
