Yes I can install RHL9 on the client
system. And its as well supported as the head node. I
shall give you the log of what is going on when trying to using the autoinstall from a floppy disk on the client. This is not
the whole log but the part where I assume has the problem.

system Your autoinstall has failed I eliminated the DISKORDER in default
however I still couldn’t get the above problem fixed. Many Thanks Paul -----Original Message----- Is this the boot
device? So, is your testimony: “The system boots off the device,
but the kernel can’t see it?” We need to fix that first. I assume RHL9 (or
whatever distro you’re basing off of) can install on the system.
Could you take a look at the kernel messages (via dmesg) on that and see
what’s going on with the disk? Could you install the distro
on a client to make sure it’s as well supported as the headnode? Bottom line, the headnode
and clients are sposed to be the same, yet there’s some difference that
seems to be interfering. BTW, if you want to
eliminate the disk independence stuff, just put
DISKORDER= on the boot command line
in /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/default at least, I think
that’s the filename... -- David N. Lombard My comments represent my

Palathingal, Paul J. [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Thank you David. All the machines are
identical. There are no differences between the head node and the client nodes.
However the client node was set up as a dual boot machine earlier (prior use)
and I don’t know If that could be an issue. The BIOS does see the
disk. However I don’t
think I see the device on the fly as the kernel is booting up the client. I shall try to set
up a serial console and record it to a file for a log of what is happening. Many Thanks Paul -----Original Message----- Hi Paul! Welcome
to our world... Anyway,
I just asked Tom about the differences between the head node, where this drive
apparently shows up as /dev/hda, and the clients, where it’s not found. Do you
know of any differences? Does the
BIOS see the disk? Do you
see the device fly by as the kernel’s booting on the client? It may
help to set up a serial console and record it to a file via minicom or some
such... -- David N.

[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Palathingal, Paul J. Hello, My name is Paul Palathingal
and i am new to OSCAR. I have been trying to setup a 4 node cluster machine
(head node + 3 client nodes). However i ran into the following problem. On the compute node i use the floppy
to boot up and let the system imager (version 3.3.2) to load the kernel.
However it does not load the ide hard drive modules. When I do a # ls /dev/hda*
it does not show anything. I have an IDE hard drive. Because of the above during the boot
up process by the system imager on the client node I get the following error
when running the script for that client node. "DISK0 not found" I talked with Thomas Naughton and
discussed the bug with him. Many Thanks Paul |
