I've been successfully using LTSP 3.0.5 (on Debian Woody) on my home network for several months. I obtained another "terminal" to add to the system, but am having problems getting it to start up. I've tried two different kernels (vmlinuz-2.4.9-ltsp-6 & vmlinuz-2.4.19-ltsp-1), but the boot always hangs at the same place. The computer successfully obtains its IP address from dhcp (192.168.1.51), and then successfully loads the kernel via tftp. As soon as the kernel loads, however, the following is displayed on the screen of the terminal:
........................done A20 disabled via BIOS mknbi-1.2-7/first32.c (GPL) Top of ramdisk is 0X00000000 Ramdisk at 0XFFF4D000, size 0X000B3000 Uncompressing Linux... Ok, booting the kernel. and it stops. Nothing unusual appears in the logs of the server, only the successful dhcp request and the loading of the kernel via tftp. The computer is a Dell Optiplex 560/L, Pentium 60 with 16MB RAM. I can boot Tom's Root/Boot without any problems, so the computer will at least work with a Linux kernel. Does anyone have any idea why the ltsp kernels won't load on this machine? Since there are no error messages on the terminal itself, and nothing else is logged to the server, I'm at a loss as to why the boot process won't continue. Any help would be greatly appreciated...I love giving these old computers a new lease on life! :-) ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: SourceForge Enterprise Edition + IBM + LinuxWorld = Something 2 See! http://www.vasoftware.com _____________________________________________________________________ Ltsp-discuss mailing list.
