[nmglug] openmosix cluster update

[bill york]

success

(sorry to interrupt the joviality re: power)

my problem was not knowing how to use initrd. seems that sata drives 
appear as scsi drives and need a ramdisk to load the fs on the drive. i 
pussied out and (this is an advantage of having a lot of spare computers 
around) used machines with ide drives instead.

patched the kernel. recompiled -- the default sarge installation is 
gratefully 2.4.26, the same as the latest mosix kernel patch. i could 
use the config file from /boot! packaged the new kernel, copied it to 
all nodes, installed openmosix with apt and /presto chango/.

thanks everyone for your help! now if i can just find a use for this 
cluster....
