In order to have a look at the disk of my crashed node, I downloaded 
RIP-2.2-1680.bin from the first site, but I was not able to boot 
properly. However, tomsrtbt-2.0.103 from the second site worked very 
well and allowed me to reboot the node as well as mount its disk to 
look at messages. Unfortunately, they did not really tell me anything 
more...However, it might be an idea for a future release of ROCKS to 
include a second "standalone" boot option for the computer nodes, so 
that one can access them independent of the frontend....
    All the best,
