OOPS, sorry about that, I got a bit frustrated.... I'll have to go to my friendly neighborhood Radio Shack to get the crossover cables (a radio/computer/general technology hobbyist store we have here near New York City). This cable attaches to the Ethernet ports, right?
Anyway, I had a copy of your 64bit Pelican HPC 1.7 CD in my desk from when I last tried out your distro several months ago. So, I tried it out again. It seems to boot OK on one of my nodes (a PC with 64bit dual core AMD Athlons running at 2GHz per core).
So, I tried to PXE boot again. I don't see the conflicting servers on my LAN anymore, so that's progress! Finally, the tech guy listened to me and got it right, I suppose! I'm confused about one thing. Node n0 sets up a static IP 10.11.12.1 and the pelican_start script then seems to look for nodes at 10.11.12.2, 10.11.12.3, etc. How do I get the worker nodes to have these IPs before the cluster is setup? If the worker nodes don't have these IPs, how will pelican_start find them with PXE?
Confused,
