I am trying to use the software on the clustermatic fall 2001 CD and am having some problems. I install a fresh RedHat 7.2 x86 on an machine with a Tyan Thunder MB and a single Athlon XP 1600+ cpu. I specify "custom, everything, grub, ext3, kde, text boot". I have hda1 as /boot, an unused hda2 as /usr9, extended as /hda3, two swaps as /hda5 and /hda6, and / at about 19 gig as /hda7. I mount the cdrom, change into the RPMS/athlon diretory and type "rpm -Uvh *". The rpm issues a message for bproc-modules saying that it can't open 2.4.7-10/modules.dep. The 2.4.7-10 entries have apparently been replaced by 2.4.13-lanl.3 entries. Should I worry about this? There are many more files in the RPMS/i386 directory than in the RPMS/Athlon directory. Should I install some/all RPMS's in i386? Should I install all in i386 and then the 3 from Athlon on top of them? Should I install some from i386 and some/all from Athlon? If so which ones? I have both Pentium and Athlon machines here. Can I install/build for some binary that will work on both? When I install just the 3 files from Athlon I do not get a ..beoboot entry on the grub boot screen and bpstat is not found anywhere on the machine. When I install all the files from i386 I get a ..beoboot line from grub but when I try to use that option the machine will not boot. When i386 is installed and I boot without the ..beoboot option and try to run "/etc/rc.d/init.d/beowulf start" it fails. The README talks about creating phase 1 boot images. Are those for the slave nodes? I am trying to load and configure the master node. I plan to start by booting the slave nodes from the distribution CD. I have installed all from i386 and then tried to build a custom kernel. "make all" seemed to work. "make modules" failed. Thanks in advance for you help. Neal Nelson |
