[Ltsp-discuss] need help with: ERROR: cannot detect ISA net card

[Chadwick E. Labno]

I'm booting the client off a floppy using ROM-O-MATIC image for mu 3com 3c509 card. The image loads, gets a IP from the DHCP (ISC 3.0), starts TFTP and loads the kernel. After the kernel loads the client displays: Running /linuxrc Mounting /proc ERROR: Could not auto detect netcard... ISA cards need ....      .... need ...'NIC=.......' passed in option-129 .... in /etc/dhcpd.conf.   I'm running ISC DHCP 3.0 which requires (or so I've read) the user defined option in the form: option newname code newcode = text which is not excepted by /usr/sbin/dhcpd. Can I pass the NIC info to the kernel usinf DHCP or do I need to add this info to the /linuxrc? thanks, chad
