           Testers Name: Don Moore
          Email address: donmoore@utdallas.edu
         NIC chipset(s): 82550PM
         Number of NICs: 2
           Interconnect: Myrinet-2000
            Master-Node: Intel PRO/1000S 
           Disk type(s): Ultra160  
        SCSI chipset(s): AIC-7899W 
 Software RAID level(s): RAID1 (SRCMR backordered part)
          Filesystem(s): ext3
            Boot loader: lilo
           Architecture: i386
           Distribution: RedHat
   Preferred boot media: PXE
                         autoinstall
                         floppy
     Pertinent comments: I'm setting up a cluster of 22-nodes Intel SDS2
                         with myrinet . 

                         I already have a stable 16-node cluster
                         with 1.5.0 - supermicro370DER . In addition,
                         I've setup 48 PCs with v2.01 -three different
                         types of machines, ASUS-K7V,ASUS-A7M266,Dell-GX1,
                         server Tyan ThunderK7. Another 9PC MS6119,MS6163
                         on a ASUS-A7V server. Major problems w/ the way
                         partitions reordered - in upgradeclient, ie
                         lilo doesn't complain when the root is mismatched
                         Worse- rsync corruptions while debugging other
                         messes..
                         
                         concerns: kernel,module problems matching my
                         hardware

     Pertinent comments: Full time linux cluster systems programmer, I
                        have an internal testcluster of 6 machines, as well as ~200 machines in 4
                        clusters that will see SIS eventually. I am working on clubmask (
                        clubmask.sf.net), and it uses SIS as the base installer, and would like to
                        keep updated.

Testers Name: James Stroehmann
Email address: james.stroehmann@il.proquest.com
NIC chipset(s): bcm5700
Number of NICs: 2
Disk type(s): dual ide
Software RAID level(s): Level 0 (some), Level 1 (some)
Filesystem(s): ext3, ext2
Boot loader: Lilo
Architecture: i686
Distribution: Redhat (of course!)
Preferred boot media: PXE/DHCP
Pertinent comments: I have approximately 45 systems currently, and >100 over 
                    the next six months that I would like to start using 
                    SystemImager to install/rebuild systems for me. Currently 
                    we are buying DL360s (G2) that have the bcm5700 gig-e cards
                    and have not been able to build a floppy/pxe-image to work
                    with them.
