hi, i've got little problem i've configured everything (ehtherboot, dhcp, tftp, nfs) step by step and everything seems to work fine. when i try to boot a workstation this happens:
. . . ROM checksum self-test: passed (0x04f4518b). Running dhclient ERROR! No root-path. Check your DHCP configuration, to make sure that the 'option root-path' is specified Kernel panic: Attempted to kill init! my dhcpd.conf ------------------------------------- ddns-update-style none; ddns-updates off; default-lease-time 21600; max-lease-time 21600; option subnet-mask 255.0.0.0; option broadcast-address 10.255.255.255; option routers 10.0.0.1; option domain-name-servers 10.0.0.1; option domain-name "mydomain.net"; option root-path "10.0.0.1:/opt/ltsp/i386"; option option-128 code 128 = string; option option-129 code 129 = text; subnet 10.0.0.0 netmask 255.0.0.0 { range 10.0.0.10 10.0.0.11; } group { use-host-decl-names on; option log-servers 10.0.0.1; host workstation1 { hardware ethernet 00:02:55:25:7C:F9; fixed-address 10.0.0.10; filename "/lts/vmlinuz-2.4.19-ltsp-1"; option option-128 00:02:55:25:7C:F9; option option-129 "NIC=eepro100"; } } ------------------------------------- it seems it's related to this, but i don't fully understand it: dhclient will then be run, to make another query from the DHCP server. We need to do this separate user-space query, because if we depend on the query that comes from Etherboot, it will get swallowed up by the kernel. And, the kernel will ignore any NFS server that might have been specified in the root-path. This is important if you want the NFS server to be different from the TFTP server. many thanks for replies. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: ValueWeb: Dedicated Hosting for just $79/mo with 500 GB of bandwidth!
