Eray, You do not tell us which version of OSCAR you are using and you do not give us the logs. It is impossible to help you.
Moreover: ubuntu 8.10 is NOT supported so yes it does not work and this is not a surprise (there is a bug in RAPT, i know how to fix but do not find the time to actually implement it). Please read the documentation before to test, check at least that what you try to do is actually supported. Regards, ----- Mail Original ----- De: "Eray Ozkural" <examach...@gmail.com> À: oscar-users@lists.sourceforge.net Envoyé: Jeudi 12 Mars 2009 14h59:05 GMT -05:00 USA/Canada - États de l'Est Objet: [Oscar-users] Latest release (6.0.1) does not work with ubuntu 8.1 We ran into several problems. Had to change/fix many things and had to babysit the installation wizard through its myriad of failures to install packages etc. tftp server didn't work, had to set it up, etc. etc. We used the ide disk partition "example", the only relevant bit of configuration that I can think of. In the end we did manage to finish the installation on a client node but the kernel that is installed (probably the latest in ubuntu 8.1) cannot find the root device /dev/hda6 (although the filesystem is installed there) and throws ups its arms in panic. On the client we noticed several "nc: cannot connect..." errors but those seem irrelevant. Client installation monitoring definitely doesn't work. Which kernel package is installed and how can we modify it? How can we make sure that a right kernel package is installed on the client on ubuntu 8.1? Was only ubuntu 8.0 supported? Was that our mistake? Have debian based systems been thoroughly tested at all? If it does not work with the current debian release, then how is it that the debian distribution is "supported"? We did notice that the client image builder was trying to install obsolete packages like initrd-tools and a non-existent kernel package (kernel-image-686 I think). I don't really have time to peruse the perl sources, unfortunately. So, which distribution was thoroughly tested with this latest release? Has there been any testing at all? How can we get it to work on top of a vanilla server installation?? We don't want to fix anything, we would just like to use whatever distro works best with this new OSCAR release. Or are we using the wrong release? Was there a release that was tested? Please help! -- Eray Ozkural, PhD candidate. Comp. Sci.
