I would appreciate some help with a problem I've been struggling with for some
time now. I have ltsp_core-3.0.5-0, ltsp_kernel-3.0.5-0,
ltsp_x_core-3.0.1-1, and ltsp_x_fonts-3.0.0-0 installed on a Redhat 7.3 box.
I have a single workstation with an NE2000 ISA card obtained from
disklessworkstations.com in 1999 with an upgraded bootPROM I just received.
When I boot the workstation, everything goes fine until it tries to transfer
the vmlinuz file with tftp, at which time it sleeps. I get my ip addr OK.
This is the same spot I failed when I used Jason Pattie's trick of
downloading a newer Etherboot image with my old bootPROM. So, I suspected
tftp, especially since my Redhat 7.3 distribution did not come with tftp. I
had to download tftp-0.28-2.src.rpm and install it. But tftpd seems to be
running, here's a bit of my ps output after attempting to boot the
workstation.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1612 ? S 0:00 in.tftpd -s /tftpboot
1613 ? S 0:00 in.tftpd -s /tftpboot
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
and this is the message tftp puts in my /var/log/secure file each time I try
to boot the workstation.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jan 28 09:30:02 ws101 xxxxxx[1083]: START: tftp pid=1611 from=192.168.1.2
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And here's the output of ls for the vmlinuz file it's trying to download.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1418240 Sep 4 23:59
/tftpboot/lts/vmlinuz-2.4.19-ltsp-1
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I also upgraded to dhcp-3.0pl1 which was required to use Jason Pattie's trick
when I had to old bootPROM. Here's what my dhcpd.conf file looks like this.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ddns-update-style ad-hoc;

filename "/lts/vmlinuz-2.4.19-ltsp-1";
}
}

Any thoughts on what might be wrong? I would appreciate any help you could
give me.
