Title: RE: [Oscar-users] installation issues - x86_64 EM64T xseries ibm server
Try the new SystemImager 3.6.3ips version available here:
 
http://www.bcgsc.ca/downloads/oscar/systemimager
 
It appears that by default, the SystemImager kernel for x86_64 did not have the ips driver built into the kernel or built as module.  I have changed it such that it is built as a module.  Perhaps this will fix your problem.
 
I also enabled CONFIG_CHR_DEV_SG (SCSI generic support).
 
Peter Mueller's kernel is 2.4 based and I think it was built for i386, not x86_64, and therefore does not work with the version of SystemImager you're using.
 
Cheers,
 
Bernard

Subject: RE: [Oscar-users] installation issues - x86_64 EM64T xseries ibm server

my compute node details as follows

Adaptec ServRAID Controller
scsi0: IBM PCI ServeRAID 7.10.18 Build 731 <ServRAID 6i>
Vendor: IBM Model: SERVERAID
TYPE: Direct-Access

modules used :

ips      54505  9
sd_mod   19393 10
scsi_mod 140177 4,sg,libata,ips,sd_mod

> You are using 600GB / 500GB HDs on your compute nodes?  Or are you describing your headnode?

i explained about the headnode.  compute node have 140 gb [2X70GB]
 
> Perhaps you can try SystemImager 3.6.3 (not released yet, but available below), it may be able

i installed the following packages in headnode from the above link

systemimager-x86_64initrd_template-3.6.3-1.noarch
systemimager-x86_64boot-standard-3.6.3-1.noarch
systemimager-server-3.6.3-1.noarch
systemimager-flamethrower-3.6.3-1.noarch
systemimager-common-3.6.3-1.noarch
systemimager-client-3.6.3-1.noarch

and removed the 3.5.3 packages from the /opt/oscar/packages/sis/distro/common-rpms and new 3.6.3
packages copied to the same location, then i created the "oscarimage", then define clients, setup
networking...

i boot the client this time
" NO DISK DEVICE FILES WERE FOUND, THIS USUALLY MEANS THE KERNEL DIDNOT RECOGNIZE ANY......"

then i replace the /tftpboot/kernel with "http://world.anarchy.com/~peter/systemimager/" web
"kernel" file

kmod:failed to exec /sbin/modprobe -s -k binfmt-464c, errno=8

i installed one compute node with RHEL4U2 to get the hardware details, i have enclosed the
lsmod,lspci,/proc/pci
