Hello, I am having a strange problem with my LTSP install. I am putting together a setup for a client, it consists of 6 sv24 diskless PCs and a dual athlon based server system.
Here is where I am at: I am using the latest core,kernel,x,and x fonts packages from the ltsp site. I can boot a diskless workstaion when set at runlevel 3 When the diskless station goes into X it completely hangs - black screen, no error messages, no grey screen with cursor, nothing. I determined that it is a hang by the fact that I can ping the machine and get a response up until the Xserver starts to take over. The hardware I am using is the shuttle sv24 mini-PC system (uses fv24 MB) the integrated video is an s3 chip. I know there are some problems with XF86 4 and the s3 chips; however I confirmed that the machine could in fact run X by installing a temporary hard drive, and loading RH 7.3. RH installed fine and booted into X just fine. I then tried using the XFConfig-4 file from the RH install, by modifying my lts.conf file. On the next boot of the diskless workstation, I verified that the lts was infact using the XC0nfig file I specified rather than genrating one. ( 'cat /tmp/XF86Config' confirmed the diskless station had the correct file). I also systematically tried playing with a few options in the lts,conf file, as well as customizing the rc.startx script. I had no luck at either, and went back to vanilla versions of each. I then attempted to start X by using the start_ws command. The system locked up in the same way. So as far as I can tell there is a problem with the X server that is trying to be executed on the diskless workstation. I was able to access XDM on the server using two existing non LTSP computers. SO I am now fresh out of ideas. I am confident that this can be made to work (since I have gotten each major oeice (XF86 and the Lanboot) to work fine albeit independent of one another. Thanks for any insights, suggestions or help anyone can offer. -Brandon ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by: OSDN - Tired of that same old cell phone?
