The CDROM doesn't boot
Check your BIOS settings to make sure that your machine is configured
to boot from the CDROM drive; also make
sure that the CDROM is the first boot device.
The SVGA interface doesn't work, or the display is incorrect
Boot into Expert mode, and send us mail describing your video hardware
so that we can correct this in future
versions. (You won't be able to use clumpview for now.) If at all
possible, please send us a working libsvga
configuration file for the machine in question.
The network adapter isn't detected/autoconfigured (or no DHCP)
If you see a message (in clumpview) stating that no ethernet devices
were configured, or that this node isn't
configured yet, then either your ethernet card was not detected or the
system was not able to configure the card via
DHCP.
If you don't have a DHCP server configured and running on your local
network, clump/os will never autoconfigure;
if you have multiple connected network adapters, then clump/os may not
configure MOSIX properly. If
autoprobing for your network adapter doesn't work, or if you aren't
using DHCP, then you'll have to configure your
card manually in Expert mode -- using insmod, ifconfig, and route --
and then configure MOSIX via setpe.
If you do need to manually configure your network adapter, please
advise us. We'd like to solve this problem, if
possible, or at least document which network cards autoprobe correctly.
Migrating processes generate errors ("Network Unreachable")
This rare problem can be caused by conflicts resulting from differently
configured kernels -- even if you are using the
correct MOSIX and Linux kernel versions. If clump/os correctly detects
all your nodes, but migrating processes
generate errors, then please compare your master node's kernel
configuration file with the R4.x kernel .config.
Migrating processes generate errors ("Process migration failed:
incompatible topology")
You are likely using master nodes with CONFIG_MOSIX_TOPOLOGY defined,
which is not supported by clump/os
at this time. See Requirements, and compare your kernel configuration
as per the previous FAQ; you will need to
recompile your master node kernel(s).
