Hi, after several problem (and day spent) installing a little cluster (HP DL380Gr head, 5 DL140 compute nodes) with Oscar 3.0, I'm trying with Oscar 4.0 which have fixed the kernel problem with Tigoon3/broadcom driver.
The system TFTP boot ok, download the image and ask me for reboot. At the reboot, the system hang to a booting 2.4.20-8smp. (just only one dot at the end...nothing else :-) I did another install, and this time I've pressed CTRL-C to stop "beeping" and access a console. I've mounted / in /mnt and /boot in /boot (uh :-) partitions, chroot /mnt /bin/sh and I manually reinstalled lilo (/sbin/lilo) At the reboot, the system hang to a booting 2.4.20-8smp. Same as above. The same with other images. I've noticed that suggested partition table is strange, only 24 MB for boot, and 128MB for swap (1Gig RAM): I copied default disks.ide to a custom file. Rebuiliding image failed...so I modified conf file for node 00 manually. It look like the original buth with boot = $start + 128, swap = $latest + 2048 and / = $disksize - 32768 (I've 80gig ide disks) Where's the problem? Wrong kernel? wrong LILO conf? wrong fstab? how can I fix it? notice: installing Oscar 4 over an Oscar 3, unless with a step_over and rm -rf /opt/oscar hang at Step 3: installing server packages. I've found a workaround installing manually some server packages with rpm -ivh --force oscar* torque*686* and then restarting step 3. Hope this havn't broken my Oscar installation ;-) thank you in advance ivan -- ______________________ www.bio.dist.unige.it +39 010 353.2789 (tel) +39 010 353.2948 (fax) ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
