Ping, I like your new years resolution. I hope you have great success!
I can't directly help out with your 7.2 questions. I will talk to the core OSCAR developers about your problems and see what we can come up with. --Tim -----Original Message----- From: Ping Yeh [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, January 02, 2002 8:18 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Oscar-users] tagged image for Red Hat 7.2 Hi everybody, Happy New Year! One of my new year resolution is that OSCAR will flourish and be very useful for many situations in year 2002. Okay, business as usual. 8) I understand that porting OSCAR to Red Hat 7.2 is not high priority, but since my lab recently decided to move from Red Hat 6.2 to 7.2, I have to use 7.2. Christmas is not a holiday here in far east so I took my entire holiday season working on porting OSCAR 1.1 to Red Hat 7.2. 8) When this works I'll start playing with OSCAR 1.2 because I have to have a working cluster first. Basically I did the following modifications: 1. Manually install TkTcl (rpm -i --nodep) before install_cluster. Otherwise install_cluster will fail because TkTcl depends on /bin/perl, /usr/bin/perl and /usr/local/bin/perl but only /usr/bin/perl exists on RH 7.2. 2. I migrated the sample.rpmlist.71 to RH 7.2 by replacing RPMs with their counterparts in RH 7.2. 409 of 425 rpms found their place in RH 7.2. The rest are left out. 3. I tried to make a tagged image for RH 7.2 by moving luikernel.config.242 to /usr/src/linux-2.4.7-10/.config and perform the usual kernel compilation make sequence make oldconfig (answer 24 questions) (manually turn off RISCOM8 and E100 here) make dep; make bzImage and use mknbi-linux --ip=rom --output=/tftpboot/vmlinuz bzImage to produce a tagged image. Rebooting the client goes well up to the point Freeing unused kernel memory: xxxK then it hung. It seems the kernel could not fork "init". The NFS-root seems fine, though. I tried various kernel configurations but each has different problems. Oh, by the way, the vmlinuz of OSCAR 1.1 boots okay but it complains about "can't find /lib/modules/2.2.17/..." during init and the boot fails. Any tips on how to make a tagged image work for Red Hat 7.2 is appreciated. Thanks!
