node installation
 

hello,
I was install rocks cluster and I have 3 PC (Intel Q6600 Quad core, 2.4GHz, 4GB RAM, SATA 320GB HDD). Rocks version: 5.1
Frontend was installed, and all is OK. When I want to install nodes, I was run insert-ethers. All nodes was found and checked by (*). Nodes was installed from network. Som scripts was started, download images, format hdd... and then was installation started. In graphic window I was seen: Starting install process. This may take several minutes...
But installation never started. I don't understand, why??? Communication between frontend and node is OK. Problem is (I think) somewhere in node. Bud I don't know where. Where may be a problem? Some setting-up in BIOS?
Thanks

The problem was in hub (it's collision device). I replacement hub bz switch. And all is OK

hello mate, i have the same problem, when i start to install the nodes, the master node is seeing the compute node and the pxe booting starts but the thing is that it stops where is telling me to choose nfs, hardrive,cd-rom ftp and http, i try to do it through the nfs image but is telling me that the rocks tree directory is not there, how can i install the node, i am working for 2 days and trying to find out but it doesn't work and also i don't see any script running nothing....

can you please let me know.... how do it..... i use a cisco switch catalyst....
