But I have a question:
What do you mean by:
" After rebuilding the kernel, you have to enable the kernel to map the hardware ID of the device to the correct module (r8169)" ?
-Does this mean that:
-I have to build the kernel,
-then install it,
-then restart and boot on it
-and finally follow the instructions in the Rocks documentation?
Is that right?
Or just rebuild the kernel and follow the instructions in the Rocks documentation?
Thanks again.

The generated rocks-boot*.rpm packages will be installed on your front end. It contains the vmlinuz and initrd files to boot the compute nodes from the network.

I have a question.
I am getting error when compiling rocks-boot-drivers.tar.gz driver source, i have followed the instructions "Creating a Custom Kernel RPM" (using kernel 2.6.23.13 from kernel.org) and downloaded your prepared driver src when i do in rocks-boot dir "make rpm" everything goes ok but when started to compile RTL8111b module i got error:

Rocks-4.3 src up2date.
I havbe tryed with different kernels and RTL8111b drivers - when compiling driver module alone to kernel and loading, it works fine, but i cant get it compiled within rocks-boot source, cant get rocks-boot rpms with RTL driver compilde as module...
I would be very happy for any advice

I was also getting these errors before. In the kernel rpm that I built, the rtl8111b driver source code was not compiled. In the Makefile of the r8168 module, i emptied the list of source files to compile. It is only a placeholder module to add the hardware id to the vanilla module in the kernel.
here is the content of the Makefile

what kind of research applications do you run in your cluster? I am also interested in your setup
Thanks.
