Hello,
I am new to this list. I will first introduce myself. I am a teacher in a
German Secondary School. We use Suse 7.1 as server + 20 clients with W2000.
Since last summer we are softly migrating to LTSP with additional 30 rather
old machines. All machines are fine, no problems with windowmaker, mozilla
and StarOffice 6.0.
My today's problem:
I tried to set up another 5 year old machine for ltsp (cyrix 166 with 32 MB,
3dfx pci graphics, tulip pci-network adaper) which was running fine with
Windows 98 before. Before reaching runlevel 3 or 5, the machine rebooted.
Dhcp was ok, the dots were running and I could just read the beginning of
the line RAMDISK... (bla bla bla), then black, and then the machine
rebooted. In /var/log/messages I could find dhcp-discover (ok) and tftp (ok)
These are the messages:
Jan 31 14:34:20 susi dhcpd: DHCPDISCOVER from 00:80:c8:94:40:45 via eth0
Jan 31 14:34:20 susi dhcpd: DHCPOFFER on 172.16.99.9 to 00:80:c8:94:40:45
via eth0
Jan 31 14:34:20 susi dhcpd: DHCPREQUEST for 172.16.99.9 from
00:80:c8:94:40:45 via eth0
Jan 31 14:34:20 susi dhcpd: DHCPACK on 172.16.99.9 to 00:80:c8:94:40:45 via
eth0
Jan 31 14:34:20 susi in.tftpd[8945]: connect from 172.16.99.9 (172.16.99.9)
Jan 31 13:34:20 susi tftpd[8945]: responding with local addr 172.16.200.100
(and then reboot and the same again)
I cannot understand, what is happening at this moment.
Here the two essential configuration files:
#dhcpd.conf
option domain-name "local.ips";
option domain-name-servers 172.16.200.100;
option subnet-mask 255.255.0.0;

max-lease-time 604800;
option broadcast-address 172.16.255.255;
option routers 172.16.200.100;
option root-path "172.16.200.100:/opt/ltsp/i386";
shared-network local.ips{
subnet 172.16.0.0 netmask 255.255.0.0 {
range 172.16.200.50 172.16.200.90;
}
group {
use-host-decl-names on;
always-reply-rfc1048 on;
option log-servers 172.16.200.100;
# that's the machine!
host essen9{
hardware ethernet 00:80:c8:94:40:45;
fixed-address 172.16.99.9;
filename "/lts/vmlinuz";
}
}
}
# lts.conf

[essen9]
XSERVER = auto
LOCAL_APPS = N
USE_NFS_SWAP = N
SWAPFILE_SIZE = 48m
RUNLEVEL = 3
X_MOUSE_PROTOCOL = "Microsoft"
X_MOUSE_DEVICE = "/dev/ttyS0"
X_MOUSE_RESOLUTION = 400
X_MOUSE_BUTTONS = 2
X_COLOR_DEPTH = 16
X_RES_1 = 800x600
XkbKeyCodes = "xfree86"
XkbLayout = "de"
XkbModel = "pc104"
XkbVariant = "nodeadkeys"
All other machines boot fine. It's the very first time that I watch such
rebooting. I exchanged the memory chips, the graphic adapter, the network
adapter, hard disk, floppy disk and changed the slots (I did not change the
processor and the motherboard) - alway the same result: reboot.
Are there problems with Cyrix processors? Any idea, what to do?
Thanks in advance
