Beware of certain models of 3COM cards - not all models of 3COM cards are supported by the installation Linux kernel that is shipped with OSCAR. See the OSCAR web site for more information.

... supported.²

Preliminary indications are that Itanium 2 support is possible, even if it is not formally supported. The main issues for OSCAR are that at the time of this writing, Itanium 2 hardware post-dates the available binary versions of operating systems, and SIS does not properly pick up modules for the netbooted kernel. The solution is for the user to compile their own kernel. This is essentially a ``do it yourself'' kind of process, and not recomended for novices. Please consult the OSCAR user's mailing list for more information.

... address⁴

There are three private IP address ranges: 10.0.0.0 to 10.255.255.255; 172.16.0.0 to 172.32.255.255; and 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.255. Additional information on private intranets is available in RFC 1918. You should not use the IP addresses 10.0.0.0 or 172.16.0.0 or 192.168.0.0 for the server. If you use one of these addresses, the network installs of the client nodes will fail.

... netmask⁵

A class C netmask of 255.255.255.0 should be sufficient for most OSCAR clusters.
