I've checked into the OPENSSI-RH branch the new CI and OpenSSI kernel 
source based on Red Hat's 2.4.20-20.9 kernel. It currently builds and 
boots, but there may be a few bugs that still need to be tracked down. 
Note that you need to rebuild cluster-tools, since the system call 
numbers were changed.

There's a good chance I broke the kernel on the trunk, due to many of 
the CI/OpenSSI kernel files being COMMON. To help clean up this mess, I 
tagged both my CI and OpenSSI kernel sandboxes with PRE-RH9 before I did 
my checkins. We can branch any of these files if we need to.

An RH9 based release of OpenSSI will be available soon. It will support 
the GRUB bootloader rather than LILO. It will include an enhanced 
mkinitrd, instead of the old cluster_mkinitrd. Its support for NFS will 
be greatly enhanced by Dave. Various other enhancements and bugfixes 
will also be included. The release will also include some crude 
instructions for upgrading from the RH8-based 0.9.9 release to the new 
RH9-based release.

The repositories are once again open for business, and commit logging 
has been re-enabled.

Enjoy,

Brian
