Hi Jim,
Some good news anyway, I am getting an allocation just fine now and it
EVEN begins a download of "/tftboot/lts/vmlinuz-2.6.17.3-ltsp-1".
However the problem now is that I left it running all weekend and it
doesn't seem to have progressed beyond that prompt, except to tick off
about a dozen dots following the line at some interval. What I will point
out is that I didn't run any of the mknbi stuff yet, I just pointed to a
file the ltsp-utils or ltspadmin placed apparently in the tftpboot
directory, figuring it would at least show me if I was getting past the
point where the allocation got acked by the client and bigger things began
to unfold. It looks like it has, but that perhaps I need to "tag" the kernel
as described in the documentation. Either that or I just have some plumb
wrong in regard to what I should be feeding to the client.
Here's my dhcpd.conf:
# dhcpd.conf
ddns-update-style ad-hoc;
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
option broadcast-address 192.254.1.255;
option routers 192.254.1.244;
option domain-name-servers 192.254.1.244;
option domain-name "your_domain.org"; # You really should fix
this
option option-128 code 128 = string;
option option-129 code 129 = text;
get-lease-hostnames true;
next-server 192.254.1.244;
option root-path "192.254.1.244:/opt/ltsp/i386";
subnet 192.254.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
range 192.254.1.100 192.254.1.199;
if substring (option vendor-class-identifier, 0, 9) = "PXEClient" {
filename "/lts/2.6.16.1-ltsp-1/pxelinux.0";
}
else{
filename "/tftpboot/lts/vmlinuz-2.6.17.3-ltsp-1";
}
}
#
# If you need to pass parameters on the kernel command line, you can
# do it with option-129. In order for Etherboot to look at option-129,
# you MUST have option-128 set to a specific value. The value is a
# special Etherboot signature of 'e4:45:74:68:00:00'.
#
# Add these two lines to the host entry that needs kernel parameters
#
#option option-128 e4:45:74:68:00:00; # NOT a mac address
#option option-129 "NIC=ne IO=0x300";
#
And Here's my ltsp.conf:
:
#
# Configuration variables for LTSP
#
# This file is for server configuration entries.
# This is NOT where the configuration entries for the
# workstations belong. If you want to set configuration
# entries for a workstation, do that in ${LTSP_DIR}/i386/etc/lts.conf
#
LTSP_DIR=/opt/ltsp-4.2
PKG_SOURCE=http://ltsp.mirrors.tds.net/pub/ltsp/ltsp-4.2/
HTTP_PROXY=none
FTP_PROXY=none
LTSP_ETH_INTERFACE=eth0
DISABLE_CONSOLE_X=N
And here's lts.conf:

For my part, I am going back to the wiki to see if I can gain a better
understanding of what needs to be loaded sown to the client post/dhcp
allocation. I am sort of thinking that the problem is what I am telling it
to hand off to the client, but just not sure. I was at least somewhat under
the impression that the pre-made files (vmlinuz-2.6.17.3-ltsp-1) would get
me somewhere further down the road. But no matter, this is a good bit more
encouraging. Would love to hear any feedback at all as I am sure it'll help
my understanding of the process here.
Thanks,
Tom
