Yes, that is how we do it here... we basically use LTSP as the base of our computing cluster (by uninstalling ltsp-client and installing ltsp-client-core) ... dpkg -P ltsp-client apt-get autoremove apt-get install ltsp-client-core ... So we do not have to maintain a whole setup of Diskless Server setup scripts... > > > How can we force it to use the first device? > > (still under the "nfsmount: need a path" > error-description since it shows the same error ;-) ). > > you can do a couple things: > > 1) set "ipappend 2" in > /var/lib/tftpboot/i386/ltsp/pxelinux.cfg/default which > passes the mac address of the network card it's booting and > initramfs-tools > will use the interface that matches that mac address. This is what sounds more clever... I did not know about this yet, but was wondering why the heck parameter BOOTIF was empty... > 2) in > /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs-tools.conf > hard-code > DEVICE=eth0. then rebuild your initramfs: "ltsp-chroot > update-initramfs -u" > and update the tftp dir(s) "ltsp-update-kernels". > hard-coding eth0 was the > default on lenny, but typically didn't work well with > multi-NIC setups if you > wanted to boot from anything other than eth0.
