Jim Forget all previus messages on this thread. I got the same error every time because i was modifying a dhcpd.conf back-up file. Sorry.
Now that i modified the right dhcpd.conf file, workstation just don't download the kernel. Take a look at my dhcpd.conf. The error message shown is: " Loadin 192.168.1.1:/HD/tftpboot/lts/vmlinuz-2.4.18-ltsp-1 .TFTP error 2 (Access violation) Unable to load File " And, please, tell me about /mnt/initrd dir on the server. And how that fs gets mounted on ram0 on workstation? I guess the problem happens when the machine tries to mount /mnt/initrd to ram.
