[BProc] Beoboot lanl.1.3 booting problems..

[Wilton W. <ww...@ha...>]

I am having a bit of difficulty booting more than one node at the same time,
(booting works if I stagger the booting) something seems to hang up when I
reach the point in boeoboot where it starts the node_up worker processes for
more than 1 node..

In /var/beowulf/node.2 .. node.3 .. etc... I see it hangs here:
<SNIP>
...
nodeup    :   Plugin vmadlib returned status 0 (ok)
nodeup    :   No premove function for nodeinfo
nodeup    : Starting 2 child processes.
</SNIP>

In /var/log/messages
<SNIP>
Oct  8 17:43:52 srv001 beoserv: Starting node_up worker for 2 clients.
</SNIP>

The cluster boots fine if nodeup only starts 1 child process at a time.

<SNIP>
...
nodeup    :   Plugin vmadlib returned status 0 (ok)
nodeup    :   No premove function for nodeinfo
nodeup    : Starting 1 child processes.
nodeup    : Running postmove functions
nodeup    :   Calling postmove for kmod
nodeup    :   Plugin kmod returned status 0 (ok)
...
</SNIP>

<SNIP>
Oct  8 17:50:49 srv001 beoserv: Starting node_up worker for 1 clients.
</SNIP>

Any clues on where to look for the hang up ?
