I have a 6-machine computational cluster running diskless under Debian. We are using a custom-compiled kernel 2.4.17. To get this to work, you MUST compile your own kernel. The stock Debian kernels don't fufill the requirements for diskless booting. I'm afraid I won't be able to recall them all the requirements off the top of my head, but here are a few: * NFS support compiled in, not a module * driver for your NIC compiled in, not a module * NFS as RootFS support enabled * CRAMFS support compiled in, not a module * RAM disk support compiled in, not a module Finally, when you make-kpkg be sure to include the --initrd option.
That's all I can think of at the moment. Does it work now? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
