When I boot the client everything goes well until I get:
## Beginning Error Message
Running dhclient
Mounting root filesystem: /opt/ltsp/i386 from: 192.168.100.253
mount: 192.168.100.253:/opt/ltsp/i386 failed, reason given by server:
permission denied
mount: nfsmount failed: Bad file number
NFS: mount program didn't pass remote address!
mount: Mounting 192.168.100.253:/opt/ltsp/i386 on /mnt failed: Invalid
argument
ERROR! failed to mount the root directory via NFS!
Possible reasons include:
1) NFS services may not be running on the server
2) Workstation IP does not map to a host name, either in /etc/hosts or in
DNS
3) Wrong address for NFS server in the DHCP config file
4) Wrong pathname for root directory in the DHCP config file
Kernel panic: Attempted to kill init!
## Ending Error Message
Background:
1) NFS services may not be running on the server
"service nfs status" shows nfs running
2) Workstation IP does not map to a host name, either in /etc/hosts or in
DNS
/etc/hosts shows 192.168.100.1 ws001
also:
/etc/dhcpd.conf shows host ws001 going to fixed-address 192.168.100.1 by mac
address
The mac address looks good:
hardware ethernet 00:04:5A:82:B6:5D;
3) Wrong address for NFS server in the DHCP config file
Not finding a reference to the NFS server in the dhcp config file.
note, this dhcpd.conf (on 192.168.100.253) is a copy of the dhcpd.conf on
192.168.100.254 that works. needless to say, all reference to ".254" were
changed to ".253".
4) Wrong pathname for root directory in the DHCP config file
/etc/dhcpd.conf has:
option root-path "192.168.100.253:/opt/ltsp/i386";
Further:
/opt/ has 755 as permissions
/opt/ltsp has 755 as permissions
/opt/ltsp/i386 has 755 as permissions
/opt/ltsp/i386/ the same subdirectories as does /opt/ltsp/i386/ in the
192.168.100.254 server
/etc/xinetd.d/tftp has"
user = root
server_args = -s /tftpboot
Anyone have any ideas??
Thanks, George
