Hi, I''m looking into write scaffold generators that will, amoung other things, scaffold active record associations (eg. generate select boxes for belongs_to where you can choose a parent object) for quicker prototyping. But... My question is: Is there anyway of finding out what associations exist from examining the lodel classes themselves or indeed any other way of finding out this

Hello all, I have observed a problem with a diskless PXE client I am attempting to configure. PXE/NFS/DHCP/TFTPd server is running CentOS5.1 and the Diskless workstation's root and kernel was extracted from a CentOS5.1 (custom kernel due to setting to enable Root File System support). Problem: When the diskless client boots and logs in I notice that my root user is being squashed, even if I

Hello all Now I may be way of whack here, so please forgive me. I''m trying to merge xen with redhat''s config-netboot. The idea being a kinda stateless domU. For those that haven''t seen you share a rootfs and then bind mount all the individual files over then top, and the redhat gui builds all the pxeboot config and stuff for you if you want a diskless client. I

I am having a problem with setting up diskless clients under CentOS 5.2. I have everything working under CentOS 4.7. This is an adaptation of the (somewhat old) Diskless Linux with PXE HOWTO by Gerd v. Egidy, originally at the URL http://www.intra2net.com/opensource/diskless-howto/, which is now defunt (there is a mirror of it at http://blog.chinaunix.net/u/2389/showart_82438.html). What I am

Im trying to get a diskless boot set up under CentOS 5.2, and having no luck at all. I am to the point of running system-config-netboot, and whatever information I put in, I get an error message. Responding to the 2nd button on the first popup, which asks for NFS info, I put in the IP address of the current machine (the machine that will hold the boot images for the diskless machine) and the

I have been using pxelinux with Intel 850 1.7 Ghz P4 motherboards using 10/100 ethernet switches for about a year in a multichannel visual generation system. We are shifting to SuperMicro P4SAA 2.8 Ghz P4 motherboards with onboard gigabit ethernet and gigabit ethernet switches. Put are hung up because the diskless slave nodes will not load the (Linux) kernel from the master 2.8 Ghz computer.

The TargetFrameInfo, amoung other things, specifies "local area offset" -- which, as comment say, is: the offset of the local area from the stack pointer on entrance to a function. The question is -- what's local area? Is this the first stack location which can be used by function for allocating its own variables? - Volodya

I'm replacing the master node in a cluster and having issues PXE booting the diskless nodes. The current master works fine, but the new node to replace the current node which has the same setup is having the issues. The hardware is: Dell r920 (new master node, UEFI) Dell r620's (diskless, BIOS) Dell 1950's (diskless, BIOS) When trying to boot, the 1950 node displays (though both

I have several machines, same hardware and config, but one tiny little change.. the hostname. Each one of these diskless machines needs its own hostname. Presently my pxelinux.cfg is setup like: prompt 1 default Gentoo timeout 10 label Gentoo kernel boot/kernel-3.16.5-gentoo APPEND root=/dev/nfs rw ip=dhcp nfsroot=192.168.1.10:/RAID/diskless/XXXXX-mythtv-0.27-fixes,tcp,rsize=131072

Hi folks, I've followed a set of instructions I found on http://www.linuxtopia.org/online_books/centos_linux_guides/centos_enterprise_linux_sysadmin_guide/ch-diskless.htmli which describes using system-config-netboot to set up PXE booting. I used a CentOS-4.3 install (custom, all options de-selected, then anaconda-busybox installed after the fact) as a reference/base. I followed the

Does anyone have any good how-to's or documentation on setting up read only root NFS for pxe booting diskless computers? A few months ago I stumbled upon an official Redhat doc through a google search(not hosted by redhat and I cannot find it anywhere on the Redhat site) written by Dave Kline named "Configuring diskless clients with Red Hat Enterprise Linux" from 2011. It seemed to

I'm trying to boot RedHat 9.0 on a diskless PC from a head machine running Redhat 9.0. The network appears to be setup correctly. I can boot the installation disk image fine using pxelinux. What I am trying to setup is a number of different Linux systems each with its own root directory on the head machine. I am hoping that I don't have to modify the kernel for any of these systems.

Hey CentOS list! I've got an oddity with a diskless client setup that I suspect is the result of the initrd.img I'm using, or some parameter I'm unaware -- or I need to build my own initrd image (and could use some assistance on what has to be done in that department) Testbed is defined as: VM A: ip: 192.168.250.10 with dhcp server, tftp server, nfs server VM B: pxeboot VM,

currently i'm trying to setup diskless client, which netboots 6.1-PRERELEASE kernel with help of etherboot. i've built custom kernel with `sudo make -j4 buildkernel KERNCONF=DISKLESS CPUTYPE=pentium-mmx -DNO_MODULES' and attached config. kernell loads off tftp server fine, detecting devices, but traps, when trying to mount root fs from nfs server. i've managed to get copy of

Hi, I am working on the diskless booting over Infiniband networks. At the moment we have created and implemented architecture which allow diskless booting of Linux nodes on x86, x86_64 and Itanium platforms. The system works by booting first small custom made Linux kernel of the Infiniband adapter ROM. The kernel has enough of infiniband stack to setup TCP/IP networking over infiniband. Then it

The message waiting options seem to be geared for a normal office environment where there is a one-to-one relationship between a user and a phone/mailbox. I want to have a mailbox that is shared amoung a number of people and want the message waiting light to turn on on multiple phones. I can direct the voice mail to the common mail box. I can direct the individual users to the common mail

The following manifest is causing an error/warning and permissions are not set. i do not understanding why: file { "/diskless/swaps": ensure => directory, owner => nfsnobody, group => nfsnobody, mode => 1777; } The error is: Fri Sep 21 14:53:05 EST 2007

Hi We like to build Diskless clusters. Where should we go to know how to build Diskless X server running in Centos6.2? Y.Nishimura

Because everything I searched on for a PXELinux mailing list pointed me to here. And because PXELinux is a derivative of SYSLinux. If there is a better mailing list for my questions, please let me know. Since you say its possible, care to enlighten me on how to do so?
