Hi,
trying to etherboot a toshiba portege 3110ct with ltsp. I read somewhere
people have had problems with the PXE solution on the BIOS (Intel LANDesk)
for version .99 (eepro100 nic), which just happens to be the version I am
running.
It queries dhcp alright:
Feb 11 14:58:38 burton dhcpd: DHCPDISCOVER from 00:00:39:bf:d6:16 via eth0
Feb 11 14:58:38 burton dhcpd: DHCPOFFER on 192.168.0.20 to 00:00:39:bf:d6:16
via eth0
Feb 11 14:58:39 burton dhcpd: DHCPREQUEST for 192.168.0.20 (192.168.0.2)
from 00:00:39:bf:d6:16 via eth0
Feb 11 14:58:39 burton dhcpd: DHCPACK on 192.168.0.20 to 00:00:39:bf:d6:16
via eth0
5 times and then it quits with no errors or warnings.
M
y dhcpd.conf is setup according to pxe guidelines on ltsp.org:
class "Etherboot" {
match if substring (option vendor-class-identifier, 0, 9) =
"Etherboot";
option ebootmagic = E4:45:74:68:00:00;
option vendor-encapsulated-options
3c:09:45:74:68:65:72:62:6f:6f:74:ff;
filename = "lts/vmlinuz-2.4.24-ltsp-1";
}
class "PXEClient" {
match if substring (option vendor-class-identifier, 0, 9) =
"PXEClient";
option vendor-class-identifier "PXEClient";
filename "pxe/eb-5.0.9-eepro100.lzpxe";
}
.
.
.
host bastard {
hardware ethernet 00:00:39:bf:d6:16;
fixed-address 192.168.0.20;
}
So now I'm thinking I have to flash the bios a la
http://www.rom-o-matic.net/5.0.2/contrib/eepro100notes/ and wondering
whether I should be trying to update LANDesk to 2.0 which I read somewhere
works fine or simply stick an etherboot image in like the flash.txt files
describe...
Never having done something like that before I am a little wary, so any
advice on how to proceed or how to make my existing setup work would be
greatly appreciated.
By the by if flashing is the way to go I would appreciate FBOOT.EXE from
someone seeing how it is nowhere to be found on intel.com.
Thanks,
Atli Thorbjornsson.
