Hi list, We've got a fine LTSP 4.1 setup with lots of clients. All working just fine. Recently we were given a pile of old PIIs, TULIP boxes with internal netcards. They give us a few funny problems :-)
First; I'm able to boot a TULIP box using Knoppix, it runs fine, including network and all. We identified the on-board netcard using lspci -n and so forth, dutifully make floppy images from rom-o-matic (eb-5.4.0-tulip.zdsk), all perfectly ok. For some odd reason, this absolutely correct image doesn't function at all. Neither do others we've tried. So we're disabling the internal netcard in the bios. We plug in an external netcard (RTL8139 plain vanilla) and fixes a floppy for that one. Boots like a breeze. Ahem, until it goes into some DHCP error "number 67". Ooops. Quickly, if we physically move the net-cable from the plug of the newly inserted external netcard and into the on-board netcard (which was disabled...) THEN THE BOOT PROCESS GOES ON CORRECTLY and up comes our KDE login and everything is fine !? I really don't understand this, the MAC entry in dhcpd.conf belongs to the first (external) netcard. Any clues and hints to this little puzzle :-? -- ------------------------------ Med venlig hilsen/Best regards Verner Kj�rsgaard Open Source Academy Denmark +45 56964223 +45 2014 5551 ------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by Oracle Space Sweepstakes Want to be the first software developer in space?
