Re: New release of diskless folding suite

I thought it had that. I'm running off my Windows server, using the tftpd32. There are tons of backup folders, but if they get restarted, they start from zero. Is your tftpd32 set up properly? With it taking over DHCP and not your router, etc.? I didn't have tftpd32, but Win2K's built-in one. It wo...

Re: New release of diskless folding suite

I thought it had that. I'm running off my Windows server, using the tftpd32. There are tons of backup folders, but if they get restarted, they start from zero. I just ran the USB sticks before trying this, and they always started from the last check point. I think I'll just get some more sticks, and...

Re: New release of diskless folding suite

I have been getting the "Hard drive image is corrupted, not backing up" message also. Doesn't seem to be much of a problem, except when the machines get restarted. They go back to zero. Since I don't shut them down, no big deal, usually. Last night had a power outage. All went back to zero...

Re: New diskless folding suite released

I have come up with a question. Might just me to tired to find it right now. I have been using the USB. Decide to set up disk less.

Re: New release of diskless folding suite

Does this update fix the hang upon completion on the USB stick too?

I'm having that problem. Needs to be restarted to send.
Other then that, works great.

Re: New release of diskless folding suite

OK! I set it all up again. DL'd a SMP WU, and is crunching. Set it up a spare MB with P4 630. Must of been something I did wrong the first time. I did edit out the 32bit client. I think the problem that I had originally, was the MBR wasn't getting installed on the stick through windows. All done on ...

Re: New release of diskless folding suite

Been doing a little playing with your USB stick folding.
Got it to work (boot) OK. Tried it on my C2D machine. Booted 64bit, but DL'd a normal work client.

Is this normal, or error, any way to force "-smp"

This was set up on a XP machine.

Could I do it with a linux live cd.
Copy the existing FAH cd to a folder on my desktop.
Shows six files - boot, initrd, isolinux, isolinux.cfg, kernel32, kernel64

Will live cd allow me to extract the needed files to stick.

Used syslinux
That installs the hidden file inlinux.sys.

Does not seem to install MBR
Get Invalid system disk error.

Tried with fresh blank stick, and HP formatted bootable stick.

I can't seem to get the USB stick folding to work. I made/dl'd the iso. Boot to cd. USB stick found no problem. The files found on the stick - initrd, kernel32, kernel64, syslinux, version. Then a lot of errors? - Unable to STAT USBA/.svn/"file name", No such file or directory Then starts ...
