I am working at the ltsp project for 2 weeks now, but I don't get it to work.
Here is what I did.
1. First of all I installed Suse 8.2. 2. Then I installed network packages and the tftp package. 3. Then the 4 ltsp packages (core, kernel, x-core, xfonts) 4. Start initialize 5. I edit the dhcpd.conf 6. I installed a client. The client gets an IP from the server and I am able to get files from the server to the client using tftp. So dhcp and tftp are working alright. 7. I unplugd the hd out of the client and reboot the machine. I get the following error: Dhcp Mac addr: ********* Pxe-EA1: No PXE server found, using standard boot file. IP ADDR: ********** PXE-E32: tftp open timeout PXE-E32: tftp open timeout PXE-MOF: Exiting LANDesk Service Agent
Somewhat older PXE client, PXE 0.99 or similar? Then this will be awful (at least my old Dell with PXE onboard was). You could try first to change the conditional statement with that PXEClient - perhaps that implementation does not send exactly this string. Try putting it outside conditionals, like "if ...Etherboot... filename vmlinuz; else filename en.zpxe".
If it is some old version, perhaps you have better luck running a real "PXEserver" (as rpm package available, try rpmfind), though I don't know my way around there neither, I just used to put in a rtl8139 with an etherboot bootrom.
if substring (option vendor-class-identifier, 0, 9) = "PXEClient" { filename "/eb-5[1].2.2-eepro100zpxe"; }
else if substring (option vendor-class-identifier, 0, 9) = "Etherboot" { filename "/lts/vmlinuz-2.4.24-ltsp-1";
option vendor-encapsulated-options 3c:09:45:74:68:65:72:62:6f:74:ff; } } }
