I've checked my /etc/exports. It is as follows: # ## LTS-begin ##
# # The lines between the 'LTS-begin' and the 'LTS-end' were added # on: Tue Jan 22 14:39:35 EST 2002 by the ltsp installation script. # For more information, visit the ltsp homepage # at http://www.ltsp.org # /opt/ltsp/i386 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0(ro,no_root_squash) /var/opt/ltsp/swapfiles 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0(rw,no_root_squash) # # The following entries need to be uncommented if you want # Local App support in ltsp # /home 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0(rw,no_root_squash) ## LTS-end ## So what else can I try?

So, make sure in your /etc/exports file you have /opt/ltsp/i386 listed. It was the 2.08 and older versions that used /tftpboot/lts/ltsroot Hope that helps, Jim McQuillan [EMAIL PROTECTED] Allan Mitch wrote: HELP! I'm getting the following message from the workstation during bootup (my ltsp server is 192.168.0.10): Running dhclient Mounting root filesystem: /opt/ltsp/i386 from 192.168.0.10 (null)mount: nfsmount failed: Bad filenumber NFS: mount program didn't pass remote address mount: Mounting 192.168.0.10:/opt/ltsp/i386 on /mnt failed: Invalid argument Error failed to mount the root directory via NFS! I've looked high and low for some reason of the problem. There has been a couple of mentions that this type of error could be caused by a missing or empty /tftpboot/lts/ltsroot directory. When I check my server there is no /tftpboot/lts/ltsroot. I only have is two files within /tftpboot/lts, the 2 kernel files. The /ltsroot is missing entirely. Should I have something in/ltsroot? If so, what and how do I get it there? I'm using Mandrake 8.1 with LTSP 3.0 rpm packages. I've downloaded the kernal rpm twice thinking that maybe the package was incomplete, but the dl file has the same file size as listed in Sourceforge. I've confirmed that NFS is running and /etc/exports is correct. Allan Mitch Aspiring Linux Wannabe __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
