Hello, I would like to try out the LTSP to set up a diskless client but have come across some trouble and wonder if anyone can shed some light on it.
I followed the instructions given in http://www.ltsp.org/documentation/ltsp-3.0-4-en.html to mount the ltsp core and kernel rpm packages. I then taylored the dhcpd.conf to specify the ip address for the given client mac address. When the client starts up, after a brief pause on DHCP, it flags an error: PXE: E79 NBP is too big to fit in base memory. Attached below are my current configuration. Has anyone any idea what the problem is? 1. rpm -qa | grep ltsp ltsp_kernel-3.0.10-0 ltsp_x336_svga-3.0.0-0 ltsp_x_fonts-3.0.0-0 ltsp_local_apps-3.0.0-0 ltsp_core-3.0.9-0 ltsp_x336_vga16-3.0.0-0 ltsp_local_netscape-3.0.0-0 ltsp_x336_s3v-3.0.0-0 ltsp_x_core-3.0.4-0 2. cat /etc/dhcpd.conf ddns-update-style none; default-lease-time 21600; max-lease-time 21600; option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0; option broadcast-address 192.168.1.255; option routers 192.168.1.100; option domain-name-servers 192.168.1.100; option domain-name "gome.rl.ac.uk"; option root-path "192.168.1.100:/opt/ltsp/i386"; option option-128 code 128 = string; option option-129 code 129 = text; subnet 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 { range 192.168.1.101 192.168.1.150; } shared-network WORKSTATIONS { subnet 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 { } } group { use-host-decl-names on; option log-servers 192.168.1.100; host node1 { hardware ethernet 00:07:E9:06:9A:4D; fixed-address 192.168.1.101; filename "/lts/vmlinuz-2.4.19-ltsp-1"; # option option-128 e4:45:74:68:00:00; #This is NOT a MAC address # option option-129 "NIC=ne IO=0x300"; } host node2 { hardware ethernet 00:07:E9:06:B6:D1; fixed-address 192.168.1.102; filename "/lts/vmlinuz-2.4.19-ltsp-1"; } } 3. showmount -e Export list for pinot.badc.rl.ac.uk: /mnt/cdrom (everyone) /research/pinot @gripe_machines,@badc_core /tftpboot 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0 /home/pinot 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0 /tftpboot/lts 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0 /opt/ltsp/i386 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0 /var/opt/ltsp/swapfiles 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0 /tftpboot/192.168.1.103 192.168.1.103 /tftpboot/192.168.1.102 node2.gome.rl.ac.uk /tftpboot/192.168.1.101 node1.gome.rl.ac.uk 4. ls -ls /tftpboot 4 drwxr-xr-x 10 root root 4096 Jul 21 13:06 /tftpboot 4 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jul 21 14:12 /tftpboot/lts total 32188 5. ls -ls /tftpboot/lts 3144 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3212300 Jul 21 12:49 vmlinux-2.4.20-18.9 3576 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3656209 Jul 21 12:49 vmlinux-2.4.20-18.9smp 3124 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3193503 Jul 21 12:49 vmlinux-2.4.20-8 3560 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3637412 Jul 21 12:49 vmlinux-2.4.20-8smp 1108 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1129628 Jul 21 12:49 vmlinuz 1392 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1418240 Jul 21 14:12 vmlinuz-2.4.19-ltsp-1 1108 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1129628 Jul 21 12:49 vmlinuz-2.4.20-18.9 1196 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1216739 Jul 21 12:49 vmlinuz-2.4.20-18.9smp 1100 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1122186 Jul 21 12:49 vmlinuz-2.4.20-8 1188 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1211291 Jul 21 12:49 vmlinuz-2.4.20-8smp 1584 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1617920 Jul 5 19:19 vmlinuz-2.4.21-ltsp-1 1624 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1656832 Jul 5 19:19 vmlinuz-2.4.21-ltsp-lpp-1 ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: VM Ware With VMware you can run multiple operating systems on a single machine.
