Hi All,

The list has been very quiet lately... :-)

I've been trying, yet again, to install the latest xcpu2 in a test
cluster.  Ron's instructions on the xcpu.org site seem to be outdated,
and partly buggy too.  For instance, here are a couple of points:

- After doing:

make xcpu-tarball

make ramfs-tarball

make install

I don't know whether xcpu2 has actually been built (I suspect not),
and it certainly has not been installed (e.g. no xrx, or xcpufs, or
any of that stuff has been installed).

- The command

export u=`uname -r`
./mk-initramfs-oneSIS -f initrd-$u.img $u -nn -rr \
-o ../overlays/xcpu-64 \
-w e1000 \
-w forcedeth \
-w ext3

should really be

./mk-xcpu-oneSIS ....

in order that the 9p and 9pnet modules get loaded into the initrd.

Can someone please take a look and revise the instructions (and let us
mere mortals know what to do)?


Furthermore, is xcpu2 actualy useable for production work?  What about
its integration with a scheduler/resource manager?  What about MPI?

Regards,
Daniel
