I tried using the dhcpd.conf linked in the contribs section for booting ThinkNICs by means of PXE. It doesn't work.. I don't even get dhcp.
Prior to this, my LTSP terminal based on a Boot ROM was working fine. I tried putting in just the lines pertaining to the ThinkNIC to this working dhcpd.conf file and it didn't work either.. The ThinkNIC did get dhcp with the standard method I had been using prior. Here's what my dhcpd.conf looks like (modified from the ThinkNIC version in the contrib area of LTSP.org) followed by the older, working version: ======================<< From Contrib for ThinkNIC PXE >>=============== option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0; option broadcast-address 10.0.249.255; option routers 10.0.249.254; option domain-name-servers 10.0.249.254; option domain-name "simpflex1.com"; option netbios-name-servers 10.0.249.254; subnet 10.0.249.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 { range dynamic-bootp 10.0.249.180 10.0.249.189; use-host-decl-names on; option log-servers 10.0.249.254; allow unknown-clients; filename "vmlinuz.all"; next-server 10.0.249.254; host peaches { hardware ethernet 00:40:9F:30:01:78; fixed-address 10.0.249.99; } host ws100 { hardware ethernet 00:E0:06:F5:A8:DD; fixed-address 10.0.249.190; filename "pxelinux.0"; option dhcp-class-identifier "PXEClient"; option vendor-encapsulated-options 09:0f:80:00:0c:4e:65:74:77:6f:72:6b:20:62:6f:6f:74:0a:07:00:50:72:6f:6d:70:74:06:01:02:08:03:80:00:00:47:04:80:00:00:00:ff; } } ==============<< Older Working version with LTSP Boot ROM >>============ # Sample configuration file for ISCD dhcpd # # Don't forget to set run_dhcpd=1 in /etc/init.d/dhcpd # once you adjusted this file and copied it to /etc/dhcpd.conf. # ddns-update-style ad-hoc; default-lease-time 21600; max-lease-time 21600; option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0; option broadcast-address 10.0.249.255; option routers 10.0.249.254; option domain-name-servers 10.0.249.254; option domain-name "simpflex1.com"; option root-path "10.0.249.3:/opt/ltsp/i386"; option option-128 code 128 = string; option option-129 code 129 = text; shared-network WORKSTATIONS { subnet 10.0.249.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 { } } group { use-host-decl-names on; option log-servers 10.0.249.3; host ws01 { hardware ethernet 00:D0:09:30:6A:1C; fixed-address 10.0.249.180; filename "lts/vmlinuz-2.4.9-ltsp-5"; ## option option-128 e4:45:74:68:00:00; ## option option-129 "NIC=tulip"; } host kds { hardware ethernet 00:40:F4:17:98:CB; fixed-address 10.0.249.181; # filename "lts/vmlinuz-2.4.9-ltsp-5"; ## option option-128 e4:45:74:68:00:00; ## option option-129 "NIC=tulip"; } host nic91 { hardware ethernet 00:E0:06:F5:A8:DD; fixed-address 10.0.249.191; filename "lts/vmlinuz-2.4.9-ltsp-5"; } } _____________________________________________________________________ Ltsp-discuss mailing list.
