Glen: Yes, I did use insert-ethers. It did not get that far for the frontend to detect the MAC address. I have successfully added five compute nodes before (older motherboard). The installation on these new machines is terminated right after trying to run anaconda. Some linux discussion group suggests that this might be due to the fact that Redhat7.3 does not work well with the newer motherboard/hardware. Is there any workaround you recommend? I would prefer to leave the frontend as is (Biobrew0.9) since the Blast works very well with SGE. Thanks. Heming >Did you run 'insert-ethers' on the frontend?
