Hi,
  Is it posible to add network card driver in SIS images. My 
client having Intel por 100 + VE card.
  It is  not broadcasting MAC, when I am boot from boot floppy.

Actually, it has nothing to do with the install kernel.  The ordering used
to be based on pc location, now it is based on module name (as there were
some issues with eepro100 before).  As this doesn't seem to be doing it for
folks, I just made a change in 2.0.4 to the following:

1) Go back to basing the order on location in the pci bus
2) add grouping, i.e. all cards of the same "type" (eepro100, etc) will show
   up as sequential aliases.  This holds true for scsi cards as well as
   network cards
3) Create a new stanza so it can be overriden if people still want it
   some other way.

The new stanza is as follows:

[HARDWARE]
ORDER =3D e1000 e100 pcnet32 etc...

During modules.conf creation, all modules found in ORDER will be promoted to
the front of the modules list (and hence the front of the aliases list) in
the order listed.  So for the example above, if any e1000 cards were found,
all e1000 aliases would come first, no matter where they sat on the pci bus.

2.0.4 should go out today, the changes are already in CVS if you can't wait.

Re: [Sisuite-users] buildimage and LVM

[grenoml <gr...@ya...>]

Mike,
  Hmm...  really need LVM.  Yes, the image finished building put
haven't been able to find a way to apply it yet.  Can't get the boot cd
to work.

  As to your questions, we're using RedHat Linux 8.0 (2.4.18-14 kernel
which has lvm-mod LVM 1.0.3 builtin)  If you were to add LVM to the
systemimager kernel you would probably want to add either LVM 1.0.6
(bugs fixed) or LVM 2.0 (understand Sistina still considers this beta
but supposedly its ready - has device mapper support - metadata
compatible with LVM1).  
  The hardware is our own brew - Abit KG7-RAID single Athlon 1.4
Thunderbird boards FSB133 using 4x256MB PC2100 DDR266 mem w/onboard
HPT370 RAID controller (the 2.4.x kernel supports this controller right
now but only in IDE mode - understand that the HPT370/372 RAID
controller will be supported in RAID mode in one of the next 2.4.xx
kernels - we're waiting for that to happen so we can enable the HPT
mirroring - this setup allows us to have windows and linux dual-boot
all RAIDED under the same RAID control mechanism - the dual-boot is
only used in development but we only want one type of RAID mechanism to
support whether dev or production so HPT RAID fits the bill).  All HDD
are ATA100 plus a CDROM and floppy - that's it.

Regards,
Gerry Reno

Re: [Sisuite-users] buildimage and LVM

[Michael Chase-S. <mi...@ch...>]

SIS doesn't support LVM at this time. I'm not sure what would be
required since I haven't looked at it at all up to this point. I don't
think the systemimager kernel has LVM support in it, so even if you get
the image to build, I don't think it will be able to apply it to the
client. Brian or Dan can verify that. 

Some of the errors you are seeing are, indeed, normal, as Sean said. The
fstab and the missing users all shouldn't be a problem. Some of the
other errors that look like syntax problems may cause some more issues.
Does the image actually finish building successfully? If so, you can
just try and use it and see what happens.

What type of hardware are you running this on? Since the boot of the
autoinstallcd is failing, there probably is some sort of incompatibility
there.

Mike

Re: [Sisuite-users] buildimage and LVM

[grenoml <gr...@ya...>]

  Well, I did a mkautoinstallcd and burned the image, booted the client
with the cd and....
boot:
boot: loading kernel.....
boot failed!

So, I'm not sure what is wrong at this point.

[Sisuite-users] buildimage and LVM

[grenoml <gr...@ya...>]

  I have been trying to get buildimage working for the past couple days
and I may have succeeded but I'm not sure yet.  One of my main concerns
is whether SIS supports LVM which we use.  Here is the latest output
from running buildimage:

/sbin/mkinitrd: line 434: [: : integer expression expected
awk: cmd. line:2: fatal: cannot open file `/etc/fstab' for reading (No
such file or directory)
awk: cmd. line:2: fatal: cannot open file `/etc/fstab' for reading (No
such file or directory)
awk: cmd. line:2: fatal: cannot open file `/etc/fstab' for reading (No
such file or directory)
/sbin/new-kernel-pkg: line 63: [: ==: unary operator expected
awk: cmd. line:2: fatal: cannot open file `/etc/fstab' for reading (No
such file or directory)
ls: : No such file or directory
warning: user mw does not exist - using root
warning: group csg does not exist - using root
warning: user mw does not exist - using root
warning: group csg does not exist - using root
Cannot stat file: /usr/share/gnome/help/glade-2/C/faq.xml : No such
file or directory

So I guess my question is whether this is normal output or not and
whether anyone knows if SIS can currently support LVM.

Thanks,
Gerry Reno

[Sean D. <se...@da...>]

Gerry,

Just got your flood of email (as I'm on vacation till the first of the
year).  The best way to get help on these issues is to post to
sis...@li....  There are a number of folks there who have
expertise in this issues, Mike Chase-Salerno been the prime one for build
image issues.

The lack of an etc/fstab in the image is normal.  It is created during image
installation.  LVM may be more interesting though.  Right now there isn't
explicit support for it.  There are folks interested in making this happen,
so we may be able to work together to get that feature in there.

The source can be fetched from CVS, but it will only build on a Debian 3.0
box.

cvs -d:pserver:ano...@cv...:/cvsroot/systemimager co -r unstable-2_=
1_x-oscar -d systemimager-oscar systemimager

Depending on what you are trying to do, you might be better off upgrading
SIS entirely, as the new stable is packaged up, and is light years ahead of
the code in OSCAR right now.

The grub code is still working here -- I just did a 'dd if=/dev/zero
of=/dev/sda bs=1024 count=100' on all of the nodes, and re-installed.
All of them rebooted after re-installing with a nice pretty Grub screen.

There has been an issue with grub and labels with the new code, which seemed
to be fixed (U Penn folks were running things fine).  If you can add
'--verbose' to the 'systemconfigurator' line in the autoinstallscript, and
send the output, that would be great.

                                       ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Actually, this just says 2.0.3-1 of systemconfigurator (happenstance that
the latest version of SC is the same as the old version of SI).

Irrespective of that, Li, if you are using SuSE, you need the latest (2.9.5)
version of SystemImager to make it work.  We've not done much testing of
SuSE with 2.0.3 SystemImager.

Also, is this a built image (using mksiimage) or a fetched image (using
getimage)?  I'm guessing this has to do with ramdisk generation, but I can't
debug that without the --verbose output of SystemConfigurator.

[Sisuite-users] SIS and OSCAR

[Russell S. <RS...@oc...>]

Hi,

Im having a few issues regarding installing a 28node cluster using Oscar
and I think its down to SIS.

I have dual gigabit ethernet onboard 27 of my nodes and Im using the
master node ( with 1 gigabit port ).

the problem arises after I get the initial pxe boot from the Oscar
server, then a second dhcp request is submitted, which subsequently
fails ( NODHCPOFFERS received )

I believe its possibly the sis kernel that doesn't support the onboard
Gigabit adapters ( Intel 82546EB dual port Gigabit )
I know a manual install of RH7.3 works fine with this card .

Does anyone have any ideas what to do or a kernel that supports this  ?

Cheers

Russell

[David D. <da...@ps...>]

I am unable to get OSCAR to pick up MAC Addresses with a 3COM 3C996B-T NIC
but was unsuccessful with the kernel provided by OSCAR 1.1.2rh72.  I have
tried the kernel at the unofficial SIS kernel download site so I am
wondering if this NIC is not supported at this time.

As Always, any help is appreciated!
