I'm trying to get my first workstation up using PXE/Etherboot and ltsp. After stumling over a number of small issues I have gotten to the point where Etherboot is loading the Linux kernel and appears to be NFS mounting correctly. However, I hang on the message Warning: unable to open an initial co

Ok, on to today's problem. I'm trying to bring up 2.09pre4, since I have a network card that doesn't appear to be supported (NetGear fa311, natsemi driver) I'm recompiling the kernel and trying to get it to boot. I've loaded Linux 2.4.9 source code, applied the swap over NFS patch, enabled what I
