Hello to everbody on this list,
I'm joining this list after doing some tests with LTSP on an Ubuntu 8.04
server. I want to use LTSP to boot 10-15 older ThinClient for a
classroom at our non-profit vocational training association.
Since our budget for IT-stuff is limited and we don't to spent our money
for mircosoft licences but our students.
I've setup a Ubuntu Server 8.04 running LTSP (recent version). The
Server is working and I can successfully login to the LTSP-Server when
booting with PXE-Boot (Tested with IBM Laptops).
Unfortunately I can't PXE-Boot from our ThinClients (Fujitsu Siemens
Scovery XS (Pentium III, 900Mhz, 256 MB RAM, No HDD) we want to use.
The ThinClients are getting an IP from the LTSP-Server but then the
boot-process is interrupted with the error message:
"BUG: Int 6: CR2 00000000" error
[...]
followed by a "Stack" error
Using Google to check what is says about the above error messages, I got
the idea that it has something todo with the kernel versions the LTSP
server is sending to its clients (?)
Some kernel versions doesn't work with older hardware,
- do you think that this might be the case here?
- Do you have an idea how to tell LTSP to use a kernel that older
hardware like my Scovery XS clients are able to pxe-boot from?
-Has someone successfully booted Fujitsu Siemens Scovery XS-Client
with PXE/LTSP?
Any hints would be great, since I think Ubuntu + LTSP is very suited for
our situation.
Best regards and thanks for your help.
- Phil
