Hi, James,
Thanks for the fast response.
Actually the ws has two NICs: one with chip RTL8139B, the other is built-in
with motherboard -it's with chip Intel SB82558B (i82558?). Now I remove the
RTL NIC and use i82558 NIC to link to the server.
The dhcpd.conf as:
default-lease-time 21600;
max-lease-time 21600;
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
option broadcast-address 192.168.0.255;
option routers 192.168.0.254;
option domain-name-servers 192.168.0.254;
option domain-name "newriver.com.sg";
option root-path "192.168.0.254:/opt/ltsp/i386";
shared-network WORKSTATIONS {
subnet 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
}
}
group {
use-host-decl-names on;
option log-servers 192.168.0.254;
host ws001 {
hardware ethernet 00:30:00:01:01:A4;
fixed-address 192.168.0.1;
filename "/ws001/vmlinuz-2.4.9-ltsp-5";
}
host ws002 {
hardware ethernet 00:40:c7:85:5e:a6;
fixed-address 192.168.0.2;
filename "/ws002/vmlinuz-2.4.9-ltsp-5";
}
}
I put a copy of vmlinuz in both "/tftpboot/ws001" & "/tftpboot/ws002". If
not (put it in "/tftpboot/lts"), a "server returnrd error -13" will happen.
The /etc/export file as:
## LTS-begin ##
#
# The lines between the 'LTS-begin' and the 'LTS-end' were added
# on: Sat Dec 8 08:22:21 SGT 2001 by the ltsp installation script.

/var/opt/ltsp/swapfiles

## LTS-end ##
When I boot up the ws, the screen says:
......

I think there is a DiskOnChip2000. I guess that there is already a kernel
burnt in this "DiskOnChip2000". When boot up I can see one line saying
"Linux Net 4.0 Kernel 2.2". So it actually boot from DiskOnChip first then
recognize the NIC then try to boot from the server.
Thanks in adv.
Phillip
