[edit] More discussion
Hi there!!, I also think that this is a great Idea, I am currently elaborating on a working 2.6 environment, but I find it quite difficult 'cos it seems that openmosix 2.6 port is such a obscure technology that the available documentation is useless at all.
All I have is a running 2.6.11 patched kernel. But How do I play with it?? I used the patch from the unofficial site: openmosix.snarc.org, but www.openmosix.org Have announced that 2.6 branch is now supported, but wich kernel version is supported??. Actually I do not have enough time to go trial and error. And test it.
I tried to compile the userland tools, but the refuse to compile and fail in some part of the configure process.
checking /usr/src/linux-2.6.11.11-om/include/hpc/comm.h usability... no checking /usr/src/linux-2.6.11.11-om/include/hpc/comm.h presence... no checking for /usr/src/linux-2.6.11.11-om/include/hpc/comm.h... no configure: error: openMosix header files not found
I'm kinda lost at this moment.
yeah, I think I jumped the gun a bit. I think we should wait a little bit for the day when the userland tools work with 2.6. Anyhow, you can now emerge openmosix-sources for 2.6 although it is still far from perfect. For now I am just going to concentrate on making mythfrontends out of diskless workstations and when OpenMosix shapes up a bit, we will merge that right in. Anyone know of any devs that could help out with the userland tools or who is working on it? thank you.

This is a great idea -- OpenMosix with MythTV, is there actually a working system, or is this truly a work in progress?
hi!
i'm also working with the 2.6 version of openmosix and i've the same problem!i can't solve this problem!i hope somebody can help me!
suarez_ern at gva dot es says:
This problem occurs when the ./configure or make process can´t locate the kernel headers fo openmosix... you must link your openmosix kernel version to /usr/src/linux-openmosix.
If you have any doubt, please, contact with me.
[edit] thanks.
yup, it is really a work in progress, I have just been pretty busy so I have not really had much time to mess around, I am thinking of taking off the little under development tag and just letting people do what they want with it. I hate being the bottleneck. I also noticed that nobody has an OpenMosix wiki going and that it has been requested. Anyhow, sorry for taking so long, like I said before, if you get farther on this than me, by all means, edit away! I also don't see any reason why this cannot be done, I was sort of surprised that nobody else has tried it (although who knows, someone might have but has never documented it) Thanks -Tom
[edit] IPv6
I think I am going to work on making this all IPv6 compatible. Basically what I am planning on doing in my area is providing TV/VOIP/High speed Internet/Gnome desktop and I figured it would be good to help with documenting this if anyone else wants to give it a go. I am also planning on giving a portion of the revenue back to the asterisk/mythtv/gnome developers, thus everyone wins. I want to finish this all up before WiMax is released. Again, thank you for your patience.
- update: got ipv6 going and it's great, only thing, Asterisk does not work with it yet. Just have it doing a tunnel on my wrt54g, no real configuration needed.
[edit] OpenMosix Tools with 2.6
I had the same Problem, but I fix it with download the 2.4 Kernel and then install the openmosix-tools with:
configure --with-kerneldir=/usr/src/linux-2.4.30-openmosix-r3
but I had another problem with autconf.h (its not in the 2.4 Kernel) so I must first:
cp /usr/src/linux-2.6.12-openmosix-r577/include/linux/autoconf.h /usr/src/linux-2.4.30-openmosix-r3/include/linux/autoconf.h
now it works ;)
