The latest OpenHPC release already has a tech-preview release for ARM: https://github.com/openhpc/ohpc/wiki/ARM-Tech-Preview It does sound like the old ARM ethos of a kernel per platform still has some hangovers in the Glorious New Era of 64-bit ARM & UEFT... # Network booting is a bit different on ARM platforms - ARM servers # all must use UEFI firmware, so in order to network boot them at # the moment you must netboot a GRUB2 EFI netboot image which then # tftpboots kernel and RAMFS from the server. It is also important # to remember that current ARM servers may use a different kernel # than the one provided by a distribution. The best chance of # success is to use the kernel and modules that come installed on # the server and use those for network booting with a warewulf # created ramdisk. -- Christopher Samuel Senior Systems Administrator VLSCI - Victorian Life Sciences Computation Initiative Email: sam...@unimelb.edu.au Phone: +61 (0)3 903 55545 http://www.vlsci.org.au/ http://twitter.com/vlsci _______________________________________________ Beowulf mailing list, Beowulf@beowulf.org sponsored by Penguin Computing To change your subscription (digest mode or unsubscribe) visit http://www.beowulf.org/mailman/listinfo/beowulf
