I never tested broadcast so I can´t say. I´d leave it to multicast for
debugging.

Yes the breakpoint "join" will simply fire corosync -f with cman plugin
loaded and stop the init script there. There is no point to go any
further if the core doesn´t work.

It would also be helpful to know what version of the rpms you are using
(rpm -q -f /usr/sbin/cman_tool)

Ok, let´s do this in smaller steps then:

1) make sure no cluster daemons are running on the nodes.
2) enable debugging in the configuration as I explained in the previous
email
3) clean /var/log/cluster/* from old logs (we don´t need them anyway)
4) /etc/rc.d/init.d/cman start join

wait for timeout or a bit

collect output from:
cman_tool status
cman_tool nodes
/var/log/cluster/*

on all nodes and send them to me. No logs, no help :)

Yes I regularly test all cluster releases on F12 before I do upstream
tarball releases.
