Re: [Ltsp-discuss] Compiling custom LTSP 5 kernel
If that were true, the contents of /boot would be the same as /opt/ltsp/i386/boot and /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386 the content is different therefore the process for generating the relevant files must be different btw. using mknbi, the man page states: If you are looking to boot using PXE, look no further, mknbi is not what you want. You probably want something like PXELINUX which is part of the SYSLINUX package. should I look no further or mknbi is not what I want? in other words, is that look further, mknbi is not what you want or look no further, mknbi IS what you want?

I have asked this question a number of times, and I've seen it asked on various forums as well with no answer. It seems really odd that there are such detailed instructions available for LTSP4.x, with kernel kits etc., while there's nothing on LTSP5. well, the instructions should be the same as for building a kernel on your host distro. there's nothing LTSP-specific about it with LTSP5. find instructions for your distro (i.e. Fedora, Debian, Ubuntu or whatever), build a kernel package, and install it into the LTSP chroot, maybe run ltsp-update-image and ltsp-update-kernels afterwards. live well, vagrant -- _ Ltsp-discuss mailing list.

Re: [Ltsp-discuss] Compiling custom LTSP 5 kernel
the install custom kernel is the step-by-step process I'm looking for specifically what is the process for the following: 1. create a new vmlinuz kernel (in /opt/ltsp/i386/boot) 2. create a new nbi.img (in /opt/ltsp/i386/boot) I'm fine with compiling a new kernel, installing modules and generating an initramfs. However the instructions (scattered on various forums) for generating a new vmlinuz and nbi.img are getting me nowhere. if you install a custom kernel package in the chroot, there should be hooks in the chroot that ensure that the generated initramfs is configured to handle network booting; -- _ Ltsp-discuss mailing list.

[Ltsp-discuss] Feedback: was Login fails
Hi My TCs are VIA EPIA boards. I installed the Ibex LTSP client suit. Boot fails with the openchrome graphics drivers saying BusIDs needed with fb devices I took my /opt/ltsp harking back to Gutsy ??, kept the current kernel and initfs (added the /lib/modules for the current kernel) and all is well. I dropped that /opt/ltsp into my SuSE 11.1 and again every thing is perfect, but why 11.0 would not accept a login is a puzzle. So: Gutsy /opt/rms Ibex vmlinuz and initrd CentOS: works perfectly SuSE11.1: works perfectly Ibex: works perfectly Thanks to J who posted links and advice. :-( that it did not work. (Since I use tftpboot for mythtv, embedded stuff, ltsp and installs the layout of tftpboot is important to me, and the kiwi implementation is too chaotic for me) James -- _ Ltsp-discuss mailing list.
