Hmm. It looks like I have probably done something that broke the lilo prefix. The relocation warnings mean ld doesn't like it. I can reproduce it here, but I'm not quite ready to track down what happened. I have been tracking a really iritating BIOS bug all weekend that looks like it will turn out to be a problem with supplying power to the machines. Anyway the multicast code works great when booting a 1000 node cluster. Now if all of the other issues were ironed out. Eric |
