I have my server running at 100 mb/s connected to a Netgear 8 port 10/100 switch where one of the ports is linked to a 10 MB hub and from there the client machine with a RealTek 8029 10 MB nic card is connected.
Using a gpxe cdrom, I get a PXE boot going and everything seems fine till it is time to mount the root filesystem. I get errors that the NFS server is not responding interspersed with OK messages. Possibilities: 1) The speed change from 100 mbps to 10 mbps is the problem. 2) The nic is bad, though it works in Windows okay. 3) The sync mount option is causing a problem. /nfsroot/lfs/lfsp3/tuna \ tuna.robinson-west.com(rw,no_root_squash,sync) I've been trying to following the NFS site for troubleshooting, but I'm not getting enough information on exactly what is causing the server to be inaccessible. I have tried bypassing the hub, didn't make any difference. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
