Grigory, 6.0.2 is now the stable version. Actually if you follow the documentation to use the stable version of OSCAR, it currently points to 6.0.2 by default (for both CentOS-5 and Ubuntu-8.04).
About the repository issue, you will have to send me the logs, otherwise it is impossible for me to track the problem. Also note that if this capability will only work with the "new unstable", i.e., what will be 6.0.3. Also note that for unstable, i did not generate all the binary packages yet (i need to work on something else) so if you want to use the mirroring capability, let me know and i will generate the missing unstable packages.

Dear Geoffroy, Thank you for the reply. I've been used the "unstable" repo from here: http://svn.oscar.openclustergroup.org/trac/oscar/wiki/repoTesting I guess it changed recently so for 6.0.2 it is the "stable" one now? As to the local repository -- didnt work. Pacman did create the repository but oscar-config failed early in the bootstrap process complaining that it cannot get repos' architechture. -- With best regards, Grigory Shamov --- On Thu, 4/9/09, geoffroy.val...@free.fr <geoffroy.val...@free.fr> wrote: > From: geoffroy.val...@free.fr <geoffroy.val...@free.fr> > Subject: Re: [Oscar-users] OSCAR6.0.2 - nodes cannot find root partition - > local repos? > To: oscar-us...@lists.sourceforge..net > Cc: ga...@yahoo.com > Date: Thursday, April 9, 2009, 8:39 PM > Grigory, > > Since you say that you are using oscar-6.0.2, i assume you > are installing everything from SVN since binary packages are > not yet available (i am working on that). > > About the version of centos, yes you can actually update > the /tftpboot/distro/centos-5-x86_64.url file to explicitly > point to the 5.3 centos repository.
