    77== Tournament Q&A ==
     8 1. Q: '''Our 12.04 LTS based image gets stuck on GRUB menu. How can we prevent that?'''
     9    A: If [http://askubuntu.com/questions/148095/how-do-i-set-the-grub-timeout-and-the-grub-default-boot-entry GRUB is properly configured] the problem might be the one described in the [https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/669481 12.04 bug fix] (it was introduced with one of the more recent 12.04 upgrades).
     10 1. Q: '''How can we properly configure ntp daemon in our image?'''
     11    A: The image is supposed to have empty file in /etc/ntpd.conf.dhcp which should allow DHCP based configuration of ntp daemon. Alternatively, you can use '''server consolec'''  in /etc/ntp.conf (please note that it is not a full FQDN for console since we want this image to work in all domains). This will synchronize all nodes to console time. Also, please be aware that the firewall and ACLs for networking equipment will be configured for the final tournament to prevent any outside traffic which might interfere with attempts to synchronize time with any other external servers.
     12 1. Q: '''Our image is having problems executing any match under the framework - one node is never reporting in.''' [[BR]]
     13    A: Please check your /etc/hosts file for an extra localhost entry (i.e. line '''127.0.1.1   node1-1.xxx.yyy''') and remove it. This line prevents the framework from properly recognizing the node based on FQDN.
    814 1. Q: '''Will the nodes (PC) hardware be the same as in the preliminary?''' [[BR]]
    915    A: As was previously noted, we lost some nodes on ORBIT, and in order to be able to provide a platform that is consistent across both “diagonal” arenas we installed a new collection of nodes on the grid. The new nodes are based on [wiki:Hardware/hNodes/cNodeVer3/aMain/cLV67J LV-67J motherboard].
