so you mean that you followed every steps in order to produce the good new LTSP kernel pathed with openMosix let's say vmlinuz-2.4.xx-ltsp+oM now you just have to put this new kernel on a tftp directory tree lets 'say in /tftpboot/lts/ in order it can be accessible via tftp at boot time cp ./vmlinuz-2.4.xx-ltsp+oM /tftpboot/lts/ > I have onboard lan and supports pxe boot > so I need bzImage--- and initrd--- for that purpose. > Now question is How to get this images after the steps you have > described. > Sorry, for not being very clear at the question. if i understand well it is just a matter of a PXE or an Etherboot boot phase? you just need to know how to boot a LTSP client from network with the help of a tftp server and a dhcp server the only difference is that , now the kernel that the LTSP client will download, is a oMosix patched kernel ! you have some "ready to use" etherboot kernel on http://rom-o-matic.net/ to put on a floppy.. it allows the first phase of the boot... this etherboot kernel will contact the dhcpd server in order to get an ip address and the big kernel in a second phase... 1. install and configure your tftp server in your xinetd.d/tftp file service tftp { disable = no socket_type = dgram protocol = udp wait = yes user = root only_from = your.ip.domain.class server = /opt/tftp-hpa/sbin/in.tftpd server_args = -s /tftpboot } 2. install and configure your dhcpd server the dhcpd conf 0. give an ip address to the client PC 1. tells to the client PC a. where is the kernel file that the client PC must download filename "/lts/vmlinuz-2.4.xx-ltsp-1"; b. where is the file system root option root-path " ip.of.your.server:/opt/ltsp/i386 hope this helps... i 've done that last year ML > > Very best regards, > Ashvin. > > On Thu, 15 Jul 2004, Maurice Libes wrote: > > > On Thu, Jul 15, 2004 at 11:39:50AM +0530, Ashwin Gami _00007020_ wrote: > > > Dear Friends, > > > I am using mandrake 10 + ltsp 3 > > > Does anyone know how to create > > > bzImage-2.4.16-om5 > > > initrd-2.4.16-om5.gz > > > after the following steps as per > > > LTSP+OpenMosix: A Mini How-To > > > document by James Jensen > > > > i didn't read this howto, but i read another one > > http://www.lpmo.edu/~daniau/ltsp-mosix/ > > > > here is briefly what i've done last year with ltsp-3 and oMosix-2.4.21... > > it shoud be the same with recent versions > > in theory it is simple.. in practice a little less ;-)... > > > > get the linux kernel sources ;-) > > and apply the openMosix patch on the kernel, i suppose you know how to > > do that > > # > > then, > > > > ### copy the config file from ltsp_initrd_kit which had been used by > > the ltsp team to produce the ltsp kernel, into the kernel source tree > > cp ~/ltsp_initrd_kit/config-2.4.21-ltsp-1 /usr/src/linux-2.4.21/.config > > # > > $ cd /usr/src/linux-2.4.21 > > # > > ### adjust only the oMosix kernel options > > $ make xconfig > > # > > ## compile and build the new future kernel > > $ make clean && make oldconfig && make dep &&make bzImage && make > > modules && make modules_install > > # > > ## you need to make the new kernel network bootable > > $ ~/ltsp_initrd_kit/buildk > > # > > ## the new kernel is now tagged by mknbi and so bootable by network > > ## copy it ti the right tftp place > > $ cp ./vmlinuz-2.4.21-ltsp+oM /tftpboot/lts/ > > # > > > > ## dont forget the new kernel modules.. must be copied in the > > ## right place > > $ cp -r /lib/modules/2.4.21/ /opt/ltsp/i386/lib//modules/ > > > > it should be sufficient!? > > it works for me last year!
