Hello all,
I just encountered a new problem with LTSP using a 3Com 3c509 ISA NIC
and I don't know how to fix this problem. So I decided to ask this
mailing list and hoping I could get an answer.
I'm running Mandrake Linux 10.0 Official using
kernel-enterprise-2.6.3.13mdk on my server with 1GB DDR RAM. I
installed LTSP 4.0 using the ISO image, ltsp_kernel-3.0.15-0.i386.rpm,
ltspcfg-0.5-0.noarch.rpm, the required services to make LTSP work and
applied the solution of the ERRATA page.
Below is a sample contents of my /etc/dhcpd.conf file:
- - - < s n i p > - - -
ddns-update-style none;
default-lease-time 21600;
max-lease-time 21600;
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
option broadcast-address 192.168.250.255;
option routers 192.168.250.15;
option domain-name-servers 192.168.250.19;
option domain-name "pascual.com.ph";
option root-path "192.168.250.19:/opt/ltsp/i386";
option option-128 code 128 = string;
option option-129 code 129 = text;
shared-network WORKSTATIONS {
subnet 192.168.250.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
range 192.168.250.105 192.168.250.254;
}
}
group {
use-host-decl-names on;
option log-servers 192.168.250.19;
host actc001 {
hardware ethernet 00:10:4B:1A:89:47;
option option-128 e4:45:74:68:00:00;
option option-129 "NIC=3c509";
fixed-address 192.168.250.105;
filename "/lts/vmlinuz-2.4.24-ltsp-4";
}
}
- - - < s n i p > - - -
My /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/lts.conf looks like this:
- - - < s n i p > - - -
[Default]
SERVER = 192.168.250.19
XSERVER = auto

I already tried setting up using the same ISA NIC (3c509) before but it
was on LTSP 3.0 and Mandrake Linux 8.2, and I didn't got any problem at
all. I'm wondering why I got a problem now with this ISA NIC.
Below is the error that appeared in my thin client's display:
- - - < s n i p > - - -
ERROR! No dhcpcd-eth0.info file.
This usually indicates that dhclient did not get
a response from the DHCP server, or the NIC driver
isn't working properly with the network card
VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem)
Trying to move old root to /initrd ... failed
Mounted devfs on /dev
Freeing unused kernel memory: 88k freed

This usually indicates that dhclient did not get
a response from the DHCP server, or the NIC driver
isn't working properly with the network card
Kernel panic: Attempted to kill init!

Thank you and hoping that someone could help me with this problem.
More power to the LTSP Community!
