Hello,
I'm having trouble booting the thin clients. In brief, I don't know
where to specify the file that has the Linux kernel to boot with.
This is what I see on the thin client:
<quote>
Searching for server (DHCP)......
Me: 192.168.0.250, DHCP: 192.168.0.1, TFTP: 192.168.0.1, Gateway 192.168.0.1
Loading 192.168.0.1:/ltsp/pxelinux.0
</quote>
At this point the client just hangs. Nothing else happens.
Okay, it's getting an IP from DHCP but it can't load pxelinux. So I went
back to the server and found that /ltsp/pxelinux.0 does not exist.
However, /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/pxelinux.0 does exist. So, acting on a
hunch, I edited /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf and added "/var/lib/tftpboot"
under 'filename'. This is what my dhcpd.conf looks like now:
<full-contents>
authoritative;
subnet 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
range 192.168.0.20 192.168.0.250;
option domain-name "example.com";
option domain-name-servers 192.168.0.1;
option broadcast-address 192.168.0.255;
option routers 192.168.0.1;
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
filename "/var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/pxelinux.0";
option root-path "/opt/ltsp/i386";
}
</full-contents>
I rebooted the server, and then rebooted the client. But this didn't
make any difference. I still got the message:
Loading 192.168.0.1:/ltsp/pxelinux.0
So, obviously, what I did wasn't right. But I don't know what else to
do. Where do I specify the file that contains the Linux kernel to boot?
I'd welcome any help you can provide.
Cheers,
Daniel.
