DK, I'll take a guess here and say that you are probably not mounting the /opt/ltsp/i386 directory as the root filesystem. Check your root-path entry in the dhcpd.conf file. Jim. vcare wrote: > Hello Jim > As per u said i upgraded the version to 3.0 > but it gives the error after mounting th

Geoffrey, devfs doesn't really affect the local device issues. It does allow us to remove the symlinks for many of the devices from the /tmp directory. Jim McQuillan [EMAIL PROTECTED] geoffrey wrote: >On Mon, Oct 15, 2001 at 08:58:37AM -0500, thus spake James Newlin: > >>LTSP 2.09 uses devf

No. I am still using the disk I made for 2.08 which uses a 2.2.19 kernel. So I guess that will not work? Must I make a new kernel disk using a 2.4.x kernel with devfs enabled? -- Richard Ellerbrock [EMAIL PROTECTED] >>> Marc Delisle <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 2001/10/15 04:03:43 >>> Hi, Are you usin
