Well, I did finally get one of the SWARM systems up and running.  It
was a bit of a struggle: they seem to be extremely flaky.  For
instance, I can download and boot the same kernel several times in a
row, and it will fail to boot, then succeed.  The other thing is that
it doesn't appear to be possible to run the ethernet ports at anything
other than half duplex.  That took me a bit of time to figure out.

Am I getting access to hardware today? ~:^)

I've got the kexec/kdump tools package added so now we can do fast
reboots and crash dumps.

While Larry was away I made a little bit more progress on the root
filesystem building stuff.  Little by little.

I assume since Bob is out you're not down here today?

Cheers,

a
