Hi Today we did a test installation at the teacher college. They using an older Intel P4 server. After the installation was completed I was surprised, because the thin clients didn't boot, They all get an ip address, but the couldn't find the boot image (nbi.img)
I have installed Edbuntu may more than 40 times, and had never this issue. This server has a slightly different motherboard than the other two server which we used up to know for testing. Just two weeks ago we were visiting the college with our Edubuntu test server, and at that time all thin clients picked up normally ... I thought I could be that the i386 chroot (/opt/ltsp/i386) doesn't get installed correctly? Based on that assumption I was trying to build the ltsp root again with this commands: $ sudo bash # cd /opt/ltsp # mv i386 i386old # ltsp-build-client What surprised me, the building process needs a Internet connection! Like we have only a 64KByte connection this is not really an option. Why is this needed? Can this be deactivated or redirected that he uses the Edubuntu boot cd for this? I will do tomorrow a follow up and do further investigating ... I will do a re-installation and I case it happens again I will try to do a kernel update with... ltsp-update-kernels and ssh key update (ltsp-update-sshkeys) may hopefully this is working? I case the clients still not pick up, I will do the manually way and will just copy the whole /opt/ltsp/i386 directory (800MByte) from a working server (Intel,P4) to this not working server ... Any ideas?
