Hi there,

I am trying to run LTSP for a 10-workstations network, but
have fallen into trouble and _need help_. I read all documentation
available and checked every bit of it, but I cannot troubleshoot
this -- please help!

Details:

I have one machine that plays "all servers" role
(IP 192.168.100.254) and one for a workstation (ws01).

The workstation boots from a floppy, then downloads the
kernel and reaches the point where it tries to do
"pivot_root", where I get:

  Mounting root filesystem: /opt/ltsp/i386"
  Doing the pivot_root...
  nfs: server 192.168.0.254 not responding, still trying...

and here it hangs forever.

The nfs seems to work fine, also no iptable problems,
the ws01 is listed in /etc/hosts, the /etc/hosts.allow seems
fine (see dumps below).

The ws01 is Dell Optiplex GX, NIC 3Com 3c905 TX,

The distro is SuSE 9.0, and here any related dumps:

I can see the log of the terminal station getting twice an IP from
the DHCP server and then accessing the /opt/ltsp/i386 via nfs:

Dec 17 19:30:05 suse-server dhcpd: DHCPDISCOVER from 00:c0:4f:b5:5d:b0 via eth0

and the /var/lib/nfs/xtab seems okay:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~> cat /var/lib/nfs/xtab
/opt/ltsp/i386 ws01.midora.local(ro,sync,wdelay,hide,nocrossmnt,secure,no_root_squash,no_all_squash,subtree_check,secure_locks,acl,mapping=identity,anonuid=-2,anongid=-2)


and the portmap seems okay:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~> ps -e | grep portmap
1198 ?        00:00:00 portmap


CAN ANYONE HELP SOON? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
