person who created the build_oscar_rpms scripts and that infrastructure
because now it may be possible to port individually to any distro as the
SRPMS will be compiled for that distro and architecture.
That person would be Erich Focht. If you have any
comments/suggestions about the script, I am sure he will be glad to
hear it!
Any suppot for ppc64 and playstation3 clusters?
Funny you asked that. DongInn Kim from IU is working on this right
now. We got some OSCAR software compiled for the ppc(64), but are
somewhat stuck with net booting. Are you guys also interested in
building PS3 clusters?
Cheers,
Bernard

Hi Bernard,
Yes the new systemimager did the trick plus i used another one. I
downloaded Andres Systemimager source
and did make binaries. After the boel 2.6.18.1.tar.gz kernel source had
downloaded I terminated it with CTRL-C
and then cd ed to ../src/linux2.6.18.1 directory and ran make gconfig.
Trimmed away most modules and added the e1000 and other gigabit
nic drivers as part of the kernel not as modules. copied this .config to
../patches/linux.x86_84.config. Than ran make binaries
make install_binaries in the systemimager root source dir.This installs
the kernel and initrd.img in /usr/share/systemimager ...
BUt this is not enough as the new P5B-VM DO mobo still will give a dhcp
error. So i downloaded the latest intel e1000 drivers from the
Intel Support Website e1000-7.3.20.tar.gz and unpacked them into the
e1000 directory of the systemimager/src/linux2.6.18.1/drivers/net/e1000
directory.
overwiting the old e1000 directorythen i cd'ed to this new e1000/src
directory and ran cp * ../ which put the driver source file directly in
the e1000 directory
and ran make install_binarires from systemimager root again. This just
compiles the new driver and adds it to the kernel and installs the
kernel and
initrd.img in /usr/share/systemimager/ .. boot .. standard x86_64 which
i then copied to /tftpboot to pxeboot.
This did the trick!
New e1000 drivers in kernels >=2.6.19 with UYOK will also work. They do.
Just adjust the ram disk size.
Sorry to bother you with details. You must be knowing all of this
alraedy but it may help somebody else with newer hardware.
Say a big Thank You! to Erich Focht. His idea is marvellous. Hope you
guys can come up with all the updodate SRPMS with dependencies and
build.cfg in each package so that
users can adapt OSCAR for any distro and architecture.
I have two PS3's and want to cluster them with my x86_64 machines! These
machines usually run Yellow Dog Linux 5.0
Thank you all and Bernard,
Cheers,
Allan
