Re: trying to build OpenSSI [with 2.6.14 kernel] from source

Greetings All,

I just tried to use "ssi-ksync" on the main node to sync up things for the ramimage that is being sent over via PXE boot to the nodes, but it seems that the dhcp client is missing from the ram image.

The message that I am getting on node 2 is:

"Gathering Cluster info

DHCP client application not found

Add dhcp client application to /etc/mkinitrd/exe and rebuild ramdisk image

ERROR: Could not find a NIC with node configuration. Halting."

I think that I need to edit the ramdisk so that it has the dhck client application, but am not sure how to do that.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks and have a great day,
