Hola a todos,
I'm not an expert in linux but I want to boot a VME bus controller
(VMIVME-7750) using the net.
I have searched in the net and I have found your project but LTSP
doesn't solve me exactly the problem.
The controller is a board with a Pentium III with 256 Mbyte SDRAM and a
192 MByte IDE CompactFlash card accessible through the secondary IDE
port.
It has neither floppy disk nor CDROM, but two ethernet ports.
The BIOS (BootWare) allows different ways of booting (ethernet,
CompactFlash, external floppy disk, external CDROM,...)
what I want:
to have a linux running permanently on the controller, installed in the
CompactFlash memory (192 Mbytes)
booting from the CompactFlash memory
what I managed to do with LTSP:
to boot the controller remotely from a server. This server (my machine)
belongs to a cluster but it is not the head of the cluster. I have two
ethernet cards in my machine, one connected to a LAN and the other to
the controller through a cable. I have created a image of linux with
these packages:
ltsp_core-3.0.7
ltsp_kernel-3.0.5
ltsp_x_core-3.0.1
ltsp_x_fonts-3.0.0
ltsp_local_apps-3.0.0
Now I should have a NIS server running on my machine in order to allow
connections to the controller (rsh) but I cannot as I already have a NIS
client (it is on a cluster) running on it.
Questions:
is there any linux kernel compiled for this kind of controllers? (the
company VMIC only gives you the drivers for the VME bus)
is there any solution to the NIS server in order to connect to the
controller?
any other comments?
Thanks in advance for your time
Pablo
