When you installed RedHat 8.0, what type of installation did you choose? Workstation, Server or Custom?
Not sure if this helps, but you might want to try RedHat 9.0 and give it a shot. I am currently running RH 9.0 with OSCAR 3.0 so I might be able to help you troubleshoot this better if we are on the same page.
Cheers,

All my network cards are Intel PRO/100 S. When I try and network boot, it gets a DHCP request, and everything seems to be going smoothly. Hundreds of files names scroll down the screen. It looks like it is done, since the last file is /usr/lib/locale/ar_SA.utf8.LC_NUMERIC. It is then followed by the error at the bottom of this email. However, through talking to someone from the sisuite mailing group, I thought the problem was that my server is a P3 and my clients are all P2s. So, I tried doing the whole install process again from scratch with a new computer. I am now getting stuck before the Oscar Installation Wizard shows up. The log file for that is in one of my emails. I was told it looks as though, I haven't copied the RPMs from the RedHat 8.0 CDs, even though I actually have. I check the /tftpboot/rpm directory, and they are there.
Hi Danny:
What network cards are you using for your client nodes? Can you tell us what exactly happens when you try to network boot it? Did it try to get a DHCP request?
Cheers,
Bernard

The error that is at the bottom, is all I know about the error. I followed
the
instructions in the documentation, and I get that error when I try to boot
my
client nodes. For some reason the clients won't do a network boot, which
is why
I am booting from floppy. It looks like it is working. It appears as
though
files are being copied from the server to the clients, but then it fails
with
that error at the bottom.
Danny- I may have lost track- can you re-iterate your problem again? I can't make
the connection between the rsync error I see below and changing boot order
in the BIOS. thx-

I
changed the boot order from A,C to LAN,A,C, but that didn't seem to work.
Is
there something else I have to keep in mind?
The problem with SystemImager you are discribing sounds sounds like a disagreement in the documentation, not a problem with Oscar itself. The Oscar package (which heavily uses SystemImager as a component) has been tested on RH 8 and 9 and works with them. As I have said previously, I
did
not use an autoinstall disk when I put my cluster together, I changed
the
BIOS settings to use network booting instead.
From what I understand about the different flavors of Oscar, "Standard"
is
probably the right one to use. I am not sure what your problem is, but
I
don't think either of those things are it. Original Message ----------------------- Mr. Edwards,
I read the SystemImager documentation, and it says that it only supports RedHat 7.2. However, OSCAR does not support RedHat 7.2. How do I get around
this
problem? Also, when I am making my autoinstall boot disk from the
wizard, I
am
using the [Standard] boot flavor. Should I be using a different
flavor? If
so, which one?
Thanks again,
Danny
I am using RedHat 8.0, and I installed it with No Firewall.
Quoting "Michael L. Edwards" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
I network booted the computers using the BIOS settings, so I am not
sure
what
your problem might be. If you are working from a fresh install of
RH
9.0
you
might check and make sure that the firewall settings are "No
Firewall"
or
if
you need a firewall for the box that it is letting the services
through
that
Oscar uses (I know it uses ssh and rsync, there may be others). When
I
had
a
wierd problem with nodes not spawning, I had the firewall on "High"
which
was
blocking the packets from getting in.

Hey guys,
Ok, here is the error message I am now getting, when I attempt to install the clients by booting to the autoinstall diskette:
.. usr/lib/locale/tr_TR.utf8/LC_NUMERIC => usr/lib/locale/ar_SA.utf8.LC_NUMERICwrote 418333 bytes read 553379293 bytes 1490706.93 bytes/sec total size is 687633852 speedup is 1.24 rsync -av --numeric-ids 192.168.0.10::overrides/oscarimage/ /a/ receiving file list ... done ./ wrote 101 bytes read 56 bytes 7.66 bytes/sec total size is 0 speedup is 0.00 Illegal instruction
Let me know if you need to know any of the preceding output, to diagnose. It looks like a whole bunch of files being copied from the server to the client.
Thanks,
Danny
