[Ltsp-discuss] NFS related problem

[Asaf Maruf Ali]

Hello All.   I am trying to setup diskless workstations. I have downloaded the packages from ltsp.org including the manual for setting up. I have followed the instructions to the letter but for some reason the xsvga server is not being installed in /tftpboot/lts/ltsroot directory. Infact the ltsbin directory is non-existent.   My workstation is able to get the IP from the server and the initial kernel rtl8139.vmlinuz by tftp. However it is unable to get the NFS volumes and gives the following errors:   IP-Config No network devices available Root-NFS      No NFS server available giving up VFS : Unable to mount root fs via NFS trying floppy VFS: Cannot open root device 02:00 Kernel Panic : VFS : Unable to mount root fs on 02:00     I am using a boot floppy and dhcp. The documentation attributes the above error to "possible failure to detect IRQ line"   However, the system is able to detect the NIC.   The server side should be ok as i have set up the /etc/exports and /etc/fstab after consulting many books.   I would be obliged if someone could help me out. Thanks   Asaf Maruf PING Karachi
