Subject: [Ltsp-discuss] TFTP Problem
Saurav;
Here's my thoghts on troubleshooting this:
1. Network configuration
In a prior message, you wrote:
1.While loading the workstation, it shows the server add as :
169.254.177.197 where as my server add in lts.conf is set as
192.168.0.254 and on issuing 'dhcpd' only i found that it's
listening on eth0 .
2.Second , it shows TFTP Error 1 ( File Not found)
I guess this is because, it tries to load
169.254.177.197:/lts/vmlinu...
If you are still getting this, *something* is
responding to its dhcp request incorrectly. It
may not be the server you think it is. Are any
other servers on your network that may respond
to the dhcp request? Where is this address
coming from?
Perhaps you can fire up ethereal and trace where
it is coming from. Another approach is to isolate
the LAN between your server and client (use a
crossover cable or a hub and two wires).
2. Are you booting it with PXE or Etherboot? Do you have
any *working* clients on your network to compare it with?
3. dhcpd server
Once your dhcpd server is working correctly, the
client will display dhcp request information like
this:
CLIENT MAC Addr: . . .
CLIENT IP: 192.168.0.1
GATEWAY IP: 192.168.0.254
Auto-select:
Network boot
BOOT SERVER IP: 192.168.0.254
TFTP...
If it doesn't display any of this on the client
screen, you aren't getting the right info from
dhcpd. I would verify basic connectivity first
and verify that you are connecting to the right
dhcpd server.
Note that just because you change some values
in the /etc/dhcpd.conf file, you have to restart
the dhcpd daemon to make it effective:
# /sbin/service dhcpd restart
4. tftp server
I noticed an error in your configuration: your
dhcpd.conf file specifies the boot image:
/tftpboot/lts/vmlinuz-2.4.19-ltsp-1
It should be:
/lts/vmlinuz-2.4.19-ltsp-1
since your tftp config file sets its root directory
as "/tftpboot".
After the initial dhcp exchange, the boot image
is retrieved with tftp. It will say something
like:
BOOT SERVER IP: 192.168.0.254
This IP address must match your server and the
image be available where advertised. I verify
that it is available using the "tftp" client:
$ tftp 192.168.1.100
tftp> get /lts/vmlinuz-2.4.19-ltsp-1
Received 1428636 bytes in 2.6 seconds
tftp>
If this doesn't work, your basic tftp service
is not working.
I think this should be enough to get you going.
