the last time I tried using /dev/nvram in anger was with a cluster of MSI machines. As I remember, there was some subtlty with setting the serial console (we always configure machines to use a serial console). I can't remember the exact issue, but it meant that we had to do all 150 machines by hand. _______________________________________________ Beowulf mailing list, Beowulf@beowulf.org To change your subscription (digest mode or unsubscribe) visit http://www.beowulf.org/mailman/listinfo/beowulf
