Thanks for the link! Today I managed to boot the kernel with initrd I uploaded yesterday into your old ltsp-nfs-root-tree!

Init died, because there were no nodes in /dev. I now manually copied a few nodes into the ltsp-tree: > ls -l /opt/ltsp-4.2/ppc/dev insgesamt 0 crw-r--r-- 1 root root 5, 1 16. Jan 2004 console crw-r--r-- 1 root root 1, 3 16. Jan 2004 null brw-r--r-- 1 root root 1, 0 16. Jan 2004 ram0 crw-r--r-- 1 root root 4, 0 16. Jan 2004 tty0 crw-r--r-- 1 root root 4, 1 16. Jan 2004 tty1 crw-r--r-- 1 root root 4, 2 16. Jan 2004 tty2 [...] crw-r--r-- 1 root root 4, 3 16. Jan 2004 tty11 crw-r--r-- 1 root root 4, 3 16. Jan 2004 tty12 Now I get the client up. However, it is no solution to have the device nodes on the ro-nfs-tree. - So I cannot bring up an X. Is there a way to have /dev somewhere on a ramdisk? I also tried your new ltsp-5. However there the (identical initrd-kernel) kernel gets stuck, when trying to pivot the root. It tells me "pivot_root: No such file or directory."- And that, although it's there on the initrd. If I integrate things like "ls -l /sbin/p*" into linuxrc it shows me "/sbin/pivot_root -> ../bin/busybox" and busybox is also there ... And yes, this other NFS-tree has the IDENTICAL settings as the old ltsp-tree, I restarted the nfs-server and also checked the file-permissions ... This is something I find utterly strange! Any ideas, where the problem might be? I'd rather spent my time to bring up ltsp-5 and feed the progress back into the project than fiddeling with the old stuff. Thanks a lot in advance!
