Ok. I did as you suggested and now the client loads grub and an
menu.lst file. But I cannot get the kernel to mount the nfs
filesystem. The kernel is a bzImage built from the config-file in the
ltsp_kernel-package (2.09pre4). I placed the modules in
'/opt/ltsp/i386/lib/modules/2.4.9-ltsp-1' . (Is this correct btw? The
kernel I have is called bzImage.)
The error message reads as follows:
VFS: Cannot open root device "nfs" or 00:ff
Please append a correct "root=" boot option
Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 00:ff
In the grub lst-file I pass the following parameters:
timeout=10
title Boot from Network
root (nd)
kernel /tftpboot/lts/bzImage root=/dev/nfs ip=192.168.0.5:192.168.0.2:192.\
168.0.1:255.255.255.0:::'off' nfsroot=192.168.0.2:/opt/ltsp/i386/
What is wrong with the parameters? What should they be?
