Hi,
I'm new to this mailing list.
I've got a problem with network-booting. I've configured a dhcp server.
client is a motorola mediagx board, with in built support for being a
discless DHCP client.
situation is,
client get's it's ip address and looks for kernel in /tftpboot/. (It
looks for a file kernel). Hence, I compiled a kernel with nfs root option
and tcp/ip support option. and moved it to /tftpboot/kernel. Now, it just
tries to load perennially and prints "unable to load file". I have my dhcp
settings as follows,
default-lease-time 600;
max-lease-time 7200;
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
option broadcast-address 10.0.0.255;
option domain-name "10.0.0.2";
subnet 10.0.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
range 10.0.0.3 10.0.0.10
}
host 10.0.0.2 {
hardware ethernet 08:00:2b:4c:59:23;
fixed-address 10.0.0.3;
}
I've no other configuration files other than the leases which
I just created an empty file.
I would be obliged if somebody tells me what needs to be done. or give me
where to look, for help.(I've exhausted the HOWTO)
Many thanks,
Ravi.
