I am trying to set up a new LTSP server on a Debian Etch computer. The clients work fine with an existing old Mandrake LTSP server.
I have followed instructions at http://wiki.ltsp.org/twiki/bin/view/Ltsp/Debian but when trying to boot the client just sits on loading the vmlinuz file Any LTSP gurus out there? We can cross your palm with silver if you can help get this working. ______________________________________________________________________________ ltspcfg gives the following:- ltspcfg v0.16 The Linux Terminal Server Project (http://www.LTSP.org) Interface IP Address Netmask Network Broadcast Used eth2 192.168.1.11 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.0 192.168.1.255 <----- Service Installed Enabled Running Notes dhcpd Yes Yes Yes Version 3 tftpd Yes Yes Yes Has '-s' flag portmapper Yes Yes Yes nfs Yes Yes Yes xdmcp Yes Yes Yes gdm, kdm Using: kdm File Configured Notes /etc/hosts Yes /etc/hosts.allow Yes /etc/exports Yes /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/lts.conf Yes Configured runlevel: 2 (value of initdefault in /etc/inittab) Current runlevel: 2 (output of the 'runlevel' command) Installation dir...: /opt/ltsp Press <enter> to return to the main menu... __________________________________________________________________________ Here is the dhcp.conf..... ########## # # dynamic-dhcpd.conf version of /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf # *** Rename to dhcpd.conf before using *** # # FOR LTSP WORKSTATIONS WITH DYNAMIC IP ADDRESSES # # (1) assignment of dynamic IP addresses to 10 workstations; # (2) workstations assigned addresses xxx.xxx.xxx.101 to xxx.xxx.xxx.110; # (3) server assigned IP address xxx.xxx.xxx.100 during Linux # installation. # # # How to Edit this File: # (1) IP addresses requiring change are marked "Change IP"; # (2) IP file format = xxx.xxx.xxx.yyy; # (3) replace all IP addresses with your IP address; # (4) obtain your specific IP address information from dhcpd.conf.sample # file created when LTSP was installed; # (5) end each line with a ";" except after a parenthesis; # keep your "{ }" straight; # use "#" to prevent interpretation of text on the line beyond "#". # ## Beginning of file # - In Debian 3.1 SARGE, the "next-server" statement should be commented # out; it is not needed and possibly harmful. # - In Debian TESTING or UNSTABLE, or anything with dhcp3-server >= 3.0.3, # the "next-server" statement is needed or Etherboot will walk in # circles saying "No IP address".
