Wim, If you are not opposed to using a boot disk you could use gpxe, that is what I use for all of my non-pxe boot supporting cards. You can go to etherboot.org and download their software. Version 1.0.0 looks to be the latest. It is pretty easy, I use floppys or cd's for mine. For a floppy

His problem isn't with PXE. His problem is happening AFTER PXE has downloaded the Linux kernel. It's probably not able to recognize the network card. I'd try booting that machine from a hard disk or cdrom, and see if the network card is properly detected and initialized. Jim McQuillan

Hi, From my recent experience, there is only one difference. For i386, you will need to force the architecture simply add --arch i386 to the usual command, and you're in business. Best regards -- \\|// (@ @) ---oOOo-(_)-oOOo- André Laforest

Ken, I use 64 bit sun servers that run 64 bit unbuntu vm's in xenserver for my ltsp servers with all 32 bit clients. All you need to do is make sure your images are 32 bit images. when installing and configuring ltsp all you have to do is ltsp-build-client --arch i386 Grant Ken Walker
