Hi,
I am a newbie to Linux but
making good progress. I have installed and configured LTSP and it works
great with all the Dell computers. However, when I go to boot up a
486/66/20MB w/3Com 509 NIC/512K ISA Trident TVGA Video Card(same problem with
Micron 133/32MB/Mach32 PCI Video Card, also tried an S3.) it loads the
Kernel and right after that it displays a message:
You Have Passed an Undefined Mode
Number
Press <ENTER> to see a list of video
modes available <SPACE> to continue or wait 30 Seconds
Uncompressing Linux...OK, Booting the
Kernel
Then it just hangs. Tried all the settings
after you press Enter. I have installed all the XServer RPM's supplied by
LTSP and a Vesa driver from the K12LTSP release, changed lts.conf to use
auto/svga/vga/s3/s3v but till no improvement. I even changed the runlevel
to 3. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
I have one final question. I have been
scouring the net looking for examples of LTSP Servers and their hardware
configs. We will be setting up a LTSP Server that will serve 50
workstations in our Intermediate School. The primary apps will be
StarOffice/OpenOffice(have not decided which yet)
and Netscape/Mozilla. We were thinking of using a Dell Server w/dual
P4 1.8 Ghz Processors, 18 GB SCSI HD's, and ~1GB of Ram. Will this be
sufficient? Thanks for your help in these matters.
