Re: [BProc] Beoboot lanl.1.3 booting problems..

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

Are the 50+ machines that are booting coming up at the same time ? or are they
different speeds ? we are using NForce (yucky) board that come up pretty quick
using PXE, and they come up almost simultaniously.. all of the nodes (well my
current 3 test nodes) are on the same subnet.. same switch... the only real
difference from a default install is that we are starting node numbering from
node 1 rather than 0 ( node 1 = 192.168.21.1.. etc..) and the master node sits
on the end of the subnet 192.168.21.254
