Hi all, I am trying to setup some old computers in a school as ltsp terminals. I am using redhat 9, with ltsp version 3 and ltsp kernel vmlinuz-2.4.19-ltsp-1
The problem is that in two of the machines the lan card is not getting detected at a later stage. The lan cards are of Dlink DFE538 TX make with the rtl8139 chipset. Am using the 8139too driver for it. The etherboot floppy detects the lan card .. does a dhcp request and the kernel is also downloaded using tfpt. But when the kernel uncompresses it give out the error of the lan card not being detected. I also tried passing the lan card driver using the dhcp option-129 option. But no luck. These machines also have a harddisk with win95 loaded onto them. The win95 also detects the lan card and the machines come onto the network. Also 3 other machines have same make lan card and they are working fine as ltsp terminals. So my question is that what could be wrong that the Etherboot floppy detects it, win95 detects it, but the ltsp kernel does not ??? ---------------------------------------------------------------- NETCORE SOLUTIONS *** Ph: +91 22 5662 8000 Fax: +91 22 5662 8134 MailServ and FlexiMail: Messaging Solutions: http://netcore.co.in Pragatee: Integrated Server-Software Suite: http://www.pragatee.com Emergic Freedom: Server-centric Computing: http://www.emergic.com BlogStreet: Blog Profiles and RSS Ecosystem: http://blogstreet.com Deeshaa: Rural Development: http://www.deeshaa.com Rajesh Jain's Weblog on Technology: http://www.emergic.org ---------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------- The SF.Net email is sponsored by EclipseCon 2004 Premiere Conference on Open Tools Development and Integration See the breadth of Eclipse activity.
