LTSP was working fine with a floppy, but I have a laptop that can do a network boot with PXE and it just wasn't working for me. So I was trying to follow the PXE boot instructions found at:
I have been trying to get PXE boot working with LTSP. I had the debian
package working correctly before I started to mess with PXE. After
overcoming several hurdles, I am now stuck. I am able to load the pxe
boot image (eb-5.0.8-eepro100.lzpxe). I then see the kernel is loaded
(which I tagged with mknbi) because it starts to initialize the system.
It is just after the message appears that it has created a ram disk
that things start to get bad.
I suspect that something is wrong with your kernel or initrd. Why did'nt you use the standard LTSP kernel? Booting over PXE works well with it. BTW, the latest version of the LTSP kernel is 2.4.19.

The instuctions indicated how do build a kernel and since the LTSP kernel wasn't working, I tried compiling my own. I will try again with the standard 2.4.19 LTSP kernel.
Hopefully, I will get the standard kernel working; otherwise, it's good that I know where to find the patch. Do you know if the nfs problem will be fixed in the standard linux kernel making patching unnecessary?Any insight you could give would be greatly appreciated. Also, where do
I find the nfs swap patch? Do I need to use it with kernel 2.4.18? Is
there an available 2.4 kernel that doesn't require the patch?
You can find the patch for example in the ltsp_initrd_kit package if you really need to build your own kernel.
