Re: [SSI-users] initial setup for newbies

[Scott W. <sc...@sl...>]

Hi Alceu,

Reading through all of that, the situation seems to be this:

APIC isn't supported and doesn't work.

Without APIC, it can't set up interrupts for the PCI controller.

Without the PCI controller, it can't find the harddrive controller or
harddrives.

The Fedora version of OpenSSI will attempt to install and boot exactly
the same kernel.  The kernel will fail in exactly the same way if run
on the same hardware.

Short of back-porting fixes from a newer version of Linux (if you can
figure out the closest working version) to the OpenSSI kernel, I don't
have any suggestions here.

I've had good luck with ASUS motherboards with AMD CPUs but I think
you previously said that you already had a bank of machines you wanted
to cluster.

Wish I had better news for ya.
