Hello,

I had two workstations set up properly. I removed one, then later on
wanted to add one again. I reused the old station's IP etc, only
changed its MAC address (in dhcpd.conf) and video card (in
lts.conf). I restarted DHCP.

Well the newly installed workstation manages to get its IP and
download the kernel, but it stops on "No root-path" error after
"Running dhclient".

Now this is especially weird: while I was setting things up the kernel
managed to boot and X started. It didn't work because I had forgotten
to fix the video driver line in lts.conf. I did that, but the kernel
froze as I described above. I went back to previous situation - I'm
nearly certain! - but now I got that error, persistently.

I know that a common source of error is named misconfiguration. Well,
from jimi - the server - both nslookup ws002 and nslookup
192.168.0.102 work and agree:

[jll@jimi jll]$ nslookup ws002
Server:         192.168.0.253
Address:        192.168.0.253#53

Name:   ws002.sol
Address: 192.168.0.102

[jll@jimi jll]$ nslookup 192.168.0.102
Server:         192.168.0.253
Address:        192.168.0.253#53

102.0.168.192.in-addr.arpa      name = ws002.sol.

Here's my dhcpd.conf.

default-lease-time            21600;
max-lease-time                21600;

}

        fixed-address         192.168.0.102;
        filename              "/tftpboot/lts/vmlinuz-2.4.9-ltsp-5";
    }

    host ws003 {
        hardware ethernet     00:80:C8:7F:D8:B0;
        fixed-address         192.168.0.103;
        filename              "/tftpboot/lts/vmlinuz-2.4.9-ltsp-5";
    }
}

# end of dhcpd.conf

Please help, TIA.
