I wanted to share my experience booting i386 clients from an AMD64 server. Mixed results so far. I went with this documentation
just do the following: sudo rm -r /opt/ltsp/amd64 sudo ltsp-build-client --arch i386 that I found here https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/edubuntu-users/2006-August/000214.html but the clients would not boot all the way. What I mean is that they get an ip, load the kernel, the splash screen appears, then it disappears and I have a blinking cursor in the top left corner of the screen. I noticed these lines from running "ps ax" on the server /bin/sh /usr/sbin/nbdrootd /opt/ltsp/images/amd64.img /bin/nbd-server 0 /opt/ltsp/images/amd64.img -r -C /dev/null but saw nothing about i386. Reboots did not fix it. Either changing my /etc/ltsp/dhcpd.conf to make 192.168.0.254(the server) my gateway, or just restarting the network, allowed clients to boot. I also noticed these lines from running "ps ax" /usr/sbin/nbdrootd /opt/ltsp/images/i386.img /bin/nbd-server 0 /opt/ltsp/images/i386.img -r -C /dev/null So, a P4 client runs great. Amazing, in fact. However, a PIII client boots almost all the way, but hangs here [59.2811022] request_module: runaway loop modprobe binfmt-464c I am so close, and I must say that I love Edubuntu 7.10.
