Trying to make my ThinkNIC boot, I finally removed the "option
vendor-encapsulated-options ..." line out of dhcpd.conf and now it gets
DHCP and seems to try and boot.
I also copied the default file to a file named after the hex values of
the client's IP, as specified in the HowTo.
Now I am stuck at a point where the screen shows the following
as the last lines (exclusing the equals signs, of course):
==============================================================
IP-Config: Got DHCP answer from 10.0.249.3, my address is 10.0.249.182
IP-Config: Complete:
device=eth0, addr=10.0.249.182, mask=255.255.255.0, gw=10.0.249.254,
host=ws182, domain=simpflex1.com, nis-domain=(none),
bootserver=10.0.249.3, rootserver=10.0.249.254,
rootpath=10.0.249.3:/opt/ltsp/i386
NET4: Unix domain sockets 1.0/SMP for Linux NET4.0.
Looking up port of RPC 100003/2 on 10.0.249.254
portmap: server 10.0.249.254 not responding, timed out
Root-NFS: Unable to get nfsd port number from server, using default
mount: server 10.0.249.254 not responding, timed out
Root-NFS: Server returned error -5 while mounting /tftpboot/lts/ltsroot
VFS: Unable to mmount root fs via NFS, trying floppy.
VFS: Cannot open root device "nfs" or 02:00
Please append a correct "root=" boot option
Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 02:00
==============================================================
So...What's the problem? What can I do? It's 3:49am and I'm going to bed
now.. Will check email again in a few hours..
--Thanks in advance to anyone who responds..
