I'm trying to get my first workstation up using PXE/Etherboot and ltsp.
After stumling over a number of small issues I have gotten to the point
where Etherboot is loading the Linux kernel and appears to be NFS
mounting correctly. However, I hang on the message Warning: unable to
open an initial console
My original plan was to wait and deal with X after getting the basic
functionality to work. Someone on IRC suggested that it would easier
with X, So I have installed the X packages for SVGA and s3v (my card is
an AGP Virge).
My workstation is in hosts as WS136
My current lts.conf is attached below. I have tried runlevels 3 and 5
SVGA and S3V X servers....
I am still getting the same Warning: and a near system hang (I can ping
the workstations IP, but can do nothing useful)
The last message in my syslog before the warning is:rpc.mountd:
authenticated mount request from ws136:800 for /opt/ltsp/i386.1
(/opt/ltsp/i386.1)
Does anyone know how to fix this problem?
