Having read my message again, I'd better summarise a bit first.
The gory details are below. =)
I have both ltsp 2 and 3 installed (in their separate directories).
ltsp 2 clients - kernel command line runlevel option set and used
ltsp 3 clients - kernel command line runlevel option set but ignored
Commenting out RUNLEVEL in ltsp 3 lts.conf doesn't help.
Details:
My client computers run either a full linux desktop or a single program
(the Citrix ICA client) instead of a window manager etc.
The choice of which to run is determined by the runlevel.
Using the default config, I can set lts.conf to specify which clients
start in which runlevel.
So, I can have clients 1-10 starting in runlevel 5 (therefore getting the
desktop) and clients 11-20 starting in runlevel 7 (therefore running the
ica client).
This works fine.
The problem is that I want to be able to choose which of these to start on
each client. ie I need a way to specify which runlevel to start in.
Etherboot does this and displays a list to choose from.
The dhcp option tags 192-207 are supposed to work like this:
label:server:gateway:filename:passwd:flags:cmdline
Using ltsp 2, I was able to use the cmdline option to pass a runlevel to
the kernel that line specified.
So, the list looked like:
Linux (cmdline set to 5)
ICA client (cmdline set to 7)
Again, this worked great.
The problem is that I have now upgraded to ltsp 3.0 and it seems that the
cmdline option is being ignored.
It is still being set. It appears in the 'kernel command line' while
booting.
The dhcpd.conf file has not changed, so I know that is set correctly
still.
I can set RUNLEVEL in lts.conf which works, but forces each client to
always start in the same runlevel. (These do actually run ok though, so I
know the settings are correct)
Commenting out RUNLEVEL in lts.conf doesn't help either.
Thanks for any help.
