<pre wrap="">Hi, I just recently installed the Scyld Beowulf software (27bz-7) and have<br>ran into some difficulty with slave nodes.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.<br><br>Thanks in advance,<br>Eric<br></pre>

You could check what you have in the /etc/beowulf/config<br>
<br>
This file contains the Beowulf configuration and needs to be properly set
up <br>
before you create your boot floppy.<br>
I think if you update the file manually you need to restart the beowulf deamons
(from beosetup) before you generate a new floppy.<br>
<br>
Here is an example of config<br>
<br>
interface eth1 <br>
address 192.168.1.1 <br>
netmask 255.255.255.0 <br>
iprange 192.168.1.100 192.168.1.131 <br>
<br>
# Default libraries<br>
libraries /lib /usr/lib<br>
<br>
# Default file system policies.<br>
fsck full <br>
mkfs never <br>
<br>
# Default location of boot images<br>
bootfile /var/beowulf/boot.img <br>
kernelimage /boot/vmlinuz-2.2.17-33.beosmp<br>
kernelcommandline apm=power-off mem=1023m<br>
<br>
