Fixed, in cvs. Here'a patch if you'd like to try it.

~tftpboot is rather unusual, it's normally /var/lib/tftpboot.
If you don't have mkinitrd-net-1.10-3mdk, there was a change in the
kernel, moving nfs to integrated, rather than modular, which effectively
broke the creation of nbis. (see BUG 3003)
There normally aren't any kernels nor links either, just an initrd and
boot image for the NIC. For example for your eepro100:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] sbin]# ls -l /var/lib/tftpboot/
total 2944
-rw-r--r--1 root root 2130944 Mar 13 07:31
boot-eepro100.2.4.21-0.13mdk.nbi
-rw-r--r--1 root root 869116 Mar 13 07:31
initrd-eepro100.2.4.21-0.13mdk.img
I've put these images up on my web space if you want them.

That is really cool, ;-) I am checking out the nearly cooked 9.1 rc2 and am playing with drakTermServ I have had to beat my head aginst the wall alot on this one, dhcpd.conf would not work because ot the ip range line withich defaults to: 15 15 got it woking by commenting it out, with one of these #. Finally the server is attempting to hand out the nbi image, and the client is booting from floppy cuurently and asking for it, even the lights on my switch are finally blinking ;-) The next wall I am having trouble with is the nbi's. drakTermServe created a bunch of links but no actual kernels, I have installed the kernel sources and attempted to rebuild all nbi's but the same result occourd. a ~tftpboot directory full of xxxnic.nbi links but no nbi's Has anyone out there got a 9.1 nbi kernel and associated initrd sucessfully compiled? How did you do it? If you have a pair for a eepro100 would you be so kind as to email them to me, pleaze. put several AAA's at the beginning of the subject line so I can sort by subject in an over full email box and find your reply Thanks in advance. Some bumps in rc2 but all in all as usual the next releas of the mdk distro looks real nice.

Community: Island Nation's ISP is All Open Source Mar 13, 2003, 03 :00 UTC (0 Talkback[s]) (86 reads) (Other stories by Franck Martin) By Franck Martin http://linuxtoday.com/news_story.php3?ltsn=2003-03-13-003-26-PR-CY-DP The government of Kiribati (Pacific Islands) has given the technical management of the country-code Top Level Domain (ccTLD) .ki to Telecom Services Kiribati Limited (TSKL), the sole ISP for Kiribati. In turn, TSKL has chosen to run the ccTLD .ki registry using only open-source systems. The registry runs with PostgreSQL as a backend database, and is accessible via the Web through Apache and an interface developed with PHP. All the DNS records are served with bind, and the whole system is running on Mandrake Linux.
