Hi,
If I take the 386 kernel from Red Hat CD for configuring NFS clients (386 nodes), the
client boots from floppy which I have created using
cat floppyload.bin ne.lzrom > /dev/fd0
It boots the kernel from /tftpboot/ but it searches for hda on the node which
obviously it cannot find and then it gives the error
VFS:cannot mount root device
Kernel Panic.
DHCP server is running on my server and I have created a directory /tftboot/machine1
and whose contents are as follows :
[root@rhlinux machine1]# l
total 48
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 Oct 24 17:14 bin -> /bin
drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 36864 Oct 24 16:34 dev
drwxr-xr-x 36 root root 4096 Oct 25 10:53 etc
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 5 Oct 24 17:14 lib -> /lib/
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 6 Oct 24 17:15 proc -> /proc/
drwxrwxrwx 2 root root 4096 Oct 25 10:38 root
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 6 Oct 24 17:14 sbin -> /sbin/
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 5 Oct 25 10:41 tmp -> /tmp/
drwxr-xr-x 19 root root 4096 Oct 20 16:00 var
I have done the changes in /etc/exports as follows :
/tftpboot/machine1 machine1 (rw,no_root_squash)
/usr (ro)
and then ran exportfs -a
Am I doing anything wrong ? Can anybody help me out on this ?
Regards
Rajesh
