Dear Sir, I am trying to setup LTS on a Redhat 9.0 server with 1 diskless client booting by using floppy disk. Here is my problem : Tftp appears to be trying to download the kernel, but it just doesn't complete. The screen shows: Me : 192.8.8.1, Server : 192.8.8.5, Gateway : 192.8.8.5 Loading 192.8..8.5: /lts/vmlinuz-2.4.21-ltsp-1................... Then, it takes a long time to load. What is wrong?
Two mayor possibilities for this effect to occur:
a/ You have a firewall blocking tftp b/ Your tftp daemon is not running
Make sure that on the server with IP 192.8.8.5 a tftp server is running;
netstat -l -n -p should list a udp server process listening on port 69 (or was it 68? look into /etc/services, line with tftp, my brain just does not give the info). If not, install a tftp server.
Your firewall, if you have one, should not block this port.
You do know that 192.8. is no private, but a public IP range? If this is not intentional, you probably want to change this to 192.168.
(Some customer of me thought all 192. were private and wondered why he could not reach some internet site that had a 192.something IP :-)
