Hi Martin,
I've found a workaround for the problem with gPXE. I added the following
dhcp statement to my client configuration
---snip---
filename "http://10.xx.yy.zz/gPXE/boot.gpxe";
---snap---
On Server 10.xx.yy.zz the file gPXE/boot.gpxe has the following content:
---snip---
#!gpxe
kernel http://10.xx.yy.zz/gPXE/images/vmlinuz sfs=base.sfs
union=/etc:/usr/share:/var nfsroot=10.xx.yy.oo:/openthinclient
nfshome=10.xx.yy.oo:/home
ldapurl=ldap://10.xx.yy.oo:10389/ou%3Dopenthinclient%2Cdc%3Dopenthinclient%2Cdc%3Dorg????bindname=cn%3DroPrincipal%2Cou%3DRealmConfiguration%2Cou%3Dopenthinclient%2Cdc%3Dopenthinclient%2Cdc%3Dorg,X-BINDPW=c2VjcmV0
searchdomain=foo.bar nameserver=10.xx.yy.ww:10.xx.yy.vv ro maxloop=256
vga=normal splash ide=nodma pci=noacpi
initrd http://10.xx.yy.zz/gPXE/images/initrd.recovery.img
boot
---snap---
The kernel "vmlinuz" and the initrd "initrd.recovery.img" are taken from
a thinclient running the aranto v1.1.1 we currently use in production
which changes the bios to pxe boot and reboots the thinclient. After
reboot the thinclient uses the built-in PXE and boots successfully from
the new otc v1.0.0-rc2 server.
Maybe the contents of boot.gpxe can be modified to boot directly from
otc server without the "borrowed" kernel and initrd from aranto software.
With best regards
Oliver.
