My question earlier was "How do I get the log files?" :) Here is what I was able to find under some tmp directory, but it looks like the screen output on the client side. I suspect my assumptions on the base OS is wrong. * Importing SSH host key pairs * Importing SSH auth keys and pre-initialized known_hosts * Starting SSH daemon * Synchronizing system time Warning: Permanently added the RSA host key for IP address '192.168.1.199' to the list of known hosts.

I think I'm getting the same failure across the board but I can't seem to find documentation on how to get debug logs or debug the probems further. The client nodes seem to scroll all the details off the screen, but I'm using ubuntu-8.04-desktop as my test OS. I've PXE booted the client nodes, and that seems to be OK, but throughout the client install process, there are lots of error messages messages -- eg files missing like chkconfig. dd _________________________________________________________________ Need to know now?
