Egg on my face - twice.
I downloaded
ltsp_x_core-3.0.4-i386.tgz
a second time and installed it. the XFree86
X-server was there, and works fine...
I should have done this before I made any noise.
Sorry.
Now another thing. I have not been able to get the LTSP kernel
to recognize the Ethernet card in two ISA systems.
The kernel loads using etherboot floppies with the etherboot images
3C509: eb-5.1.8-3c509.zdsk and
NE2000: eb-5.1.8-ne.zdsk
I put the option-128 and option-129 statements in the dhcpd.conf
file, but the kernel does its probes and says that I do not have any
Ethernet card - although that is how the kernel got there in the
first place. I have attached a copy of the dhcpd.conf, if that will
give anybody a clue.
The point of failure at bootup is with a console message
---
ERROR! Could not automatically detect the network card.
PCI cards ...
ISA cards ... require
the nic driver to be specified in a 'NIC=' parameter
... option-129, in the /etc/dhcpd.conf file
kernel panic: Attempted to kill init
---
Are there any tricks to debugging and getting ISA Ethernet cards
to work?
