I am trying out LTSP on my home network. I have gone through the install
instructions from various sites and read all the troubleshooting information I
can find. Obviously, I am doing something wrong. I have not been able to get it
to work and I cannot find the error of my ways! Any help, ridicule, etc is
welcome at this point!
I did a clean installation of Mandrake 9.0 and then installed NFS Utilities and
TFTP.
Next I downloaded and installed the ltsp core 3.0.7, ltsp kernel 3.0.5, ltsp X
core 3.0.4, ltsp x fonts 3.0.0, and ran ltsp initialization. I configured
dhcpd.conf and tftp, made a boot disk for my other linux box and booted the
workstation to the disk.
The workstation gets it's address from dhcpd and then goes to load the kernel
from the server 192.168.0.254 from /lts/vmlinuz-2.4.19-ltsp-1. The following
appears at the end of the loading statement and this is as far as it goes:
"...(NBI)... ......."
I have included var/log/messages, dhcpd.conf, and lts.conf below.
Thanks!
