So, it will need to be hacked for eth1 or auto and the kernel/initrd rebuilt.
My kernel boots and detects 2 NICs, both eepro100, one built-in but disfunctional(pxe) and the one that I have added.Similar setup issue here. What you need to do is specify the MAC address
Despite the fact the the built-in is disabled in BIOS it is still found and made eth0 by the kernel the init/linuxrc script (actually I can't find it) calls dhclient on eth0 which is unconnected and it all turns pear shape.
how to I specify that eth1 is to be used and not eth0, on a host by host basis ?
of eth1 in your /etc/dhcpd.conf file and give this workstation a fixed
IP number. This should solve the problem. Let me know if you need format
of the fixed ip section in dhcpd
Just have to work that part through a little more and it should be all go.
FYI the above is true for LTSP3 - I haven't looked at 4 yet.
