I also network boot my diskless nodes, so yes it does take a little longer to boot with a heavier kernel which may have some hardware support in it that a slave node does not need, but I consider it pretty negligible. -Wes Wagner On 6/14/07, Peter Marheine <[email protected]> wrote: > > That, or you don't have your disc controller drivers compiled into the > kernel (or both). > > On 6/14/07, Wes Wagner < [email protected]> wrote: > > > > Compile your kernel with your file system support built in rather than a > > loadable module. > > > > -Wes Wagner > > > > > > > > On 6/14/07, yong lee < ylee_95116-/[email protected]> wrote: > > > > > > Hi, > > > > > > I am not an openMosix expert.
