Hello I am trying to build the 2.4.9 kernel, since my test clients motherboard has the 815 intel chipset with an external agp card, which the ltsp kernel does not support. Thus I am trying to find the nfs-swap patch. The best I could find was a patch for 2.4.5 on http://zeus.instmath.rwth-aache

As far as reiserfs is concerned, there are major problems with NFS interactions and reiserfs filesystems on unpatched kernels less than (IIRC) 2.4.9. I think you can possibly get away with 2.4.5 if it's patched correctly. You will need to make sure your NFS/LTSP server is running a kernel th

I would imagine that you are having trouble with running out of memory and it's all the machine can do to keep running. X windows itself takes around 4-8MB of RAM to run. You will probably get it to work decently by upgrading the machine to 8MB of RAM, but you will still need to implement so

Thanks Eric, we tried a SiS 6326 and it worked great.We switched back to XF86_S3 driver for the Trio64 card and it works like it did under LTSP 2.06 (like we thought it would). The SiS booted up the lpp kernel great as well. Thanks, James - Original Message - From: "Erick S. Ty

2001-10-31 Thread Florence SEGUENOT
Well, is your network switched or just using an 10/100Mbps hub ? as with the hub all your network will go down to 10Mbps to allow your client to use it. That may be the first point of slowdown. I haven't tried yet with reiserfs, but I think it shouldn't be the problem as it is mounted via NFS, if
