[Ltsp-discuss] Crash and burn.

[Janette Welsh]

Hello,

I'm new to this list. I think what you are doing is great. I've installed the latest core and kernel and pxelinux, edited dhcpd.conf and managed to load a image across to the workstation, however after the image loads , says something like ........................................................ ready, all I get is cool colors and funny symbols on my workstation screen. I'm thinking maybe the ethernet card is not in the kernel or something. Tried booting on another box and got the same. So I swapped the kernel over with one from /boot on my Mandrake box. This kernel uncompresses and tries to discover harddrives, etc,and then finally complains about not finding the root as you would expect. etc, so I'm assuming the tftp stage is ok, and it's something in the next step. What should I supply to you to assist in your help. Here some prelim info


I'm running Mandrake 9.0 and the workstation is running a intel eepro 100s card (paid $128.00 AUS for this one, so I hope it is not the trouble).
