A Linux port planned.

We have it working here on a cluster of Sun, Dec, RS6K, SGI and HP hosts.
You don't mention what error messages you're getting when you try to
recon or lamboot.  Let's move this discussion to email, I'll help you
trace the problem, and we can summarize in the end.  A first experiment,
pick 2 hosts that are not booting together and from one type:
rsh other_host tkill -h
and see what messages you get back.  Repeat the other way around.

The man pages give the most detailed and up-to-date info, while the
docs act as intro/tutorials/quick-tours.  The LAM team (horse's mouth)
can be reached at: lam@tbag.osc.edu
