 |
|
right so i have a really sweet gentoo system on ma laptop.
512 ram, 3ghz HT p4
2,6,1 kernel headers..
2.6.3 kernel
reiserfs all round
syslog-ng
distcc with the pentium 2 downstairs. (333mz) 256 ram.
its nice
well
now
i want more 
i want open mosix
but now
i tried it
downloaded, followed the method on gentoo docs but
but i had the following issues
i used genkernel for my 2.6 kernel, it didnt make no bzImage or vmlinuz. it make kernel and initrd.
so i just wrote a grub config like this
| Code: |
title=openmosix
root (hd0,2)
kernel (hd0,2)/vmlinuz-2.4.22-openmosix-r4
initrd (hd0,2)/bzImage-openmosix
|
and it seemed ok
but i for something like
cannot find valid ram disk at ""
and
the last 2 lines said something like
| Code: |
kernel to old.
kernel panic.
|
the gentoo docs said something about
patching the existing kernel with the openmosix patch
can i patch 2.6.x with the patch?
any ideas guys n'gals?

Yes, but there are specific patches for the 2.6 kernel series. The guy who is making them is Vincent Hanquez (aka tab) and his homepage was on tuxfamily.org but right now i can't find it

Any updates on this?? I'm using 2.6.7 on a few machines and would love to give open mosix a try without downgrading the kernel.

i had the kernel version from http://openmosix.snarc.org/ running, but it is quite useless right now.
since they are moving alot from kernel- to userspace and the userland tools are not written yet, there is a lack of auto-migration.
you can migrate by hand, but, at least for the things i am doing, that is quite useless.
but it looks quite promising to see something working in the near future. |

Yeah, I was looking to run it w/ the 2.6 kernel. Unfortunately, it looks like I'll just have to continue to wait. Thanks though.

new update about the 2.6 kernel, hope it will be released soon
openMosix 2.6 is ready!
Submitted by moshe on Friday, October 1, 2004 - 04:32
We have finally made it! Thanks to the efforts of our developers, we have finally an openMosix version for the kernel 2.6, with lots of improvement over the old code. We have moved lots of stuff into user space (load balancer for instance), we give the admin much more control over the /proc interface and we have redesigned the user tools to work with the /proc interface instead of the kernel directly.
The new version is now on our CVS on SourceForge, we will release test RPMs shortly. We will do extensive testing before we officially release the 2.6 series. |

Actually, for some reason the cvs for 2.6 at sourceforge is broken or locked or something. Moshe is working on it, but for now you can download all the sources from tabs svn. He left instructions for doing so here. http://openmosix.snarc.org/wiki/GetSourceBySvn
you have to 'emerge subversion' in order to do this, but I downloaded the latest source the other day and am writing this post from my desktop that is running the 2.6.9-om kernel from here. Got it on 2 of 7 gentoo boxen here so far. Stable so far, but I'm still trying to figure out how to migrate processes and watch what processes are on which machines. |

Moshe has gone off on a tangent and has removed the /mfs dfsa functionality from the core. I saw a blog about it being problematic, I don't know if it was from a processing standpoint or if there were some lingering ownership issues. You're on your own now to use gfs or one of the other distributed file systems. For myself I've gone back to the one true MOSIX at http://www.mosix.org/ |
