ok , so I set dhcpd.conf back up to point to the fed11 chroot.<br>
specifying elf.ltsp kernel:<br>
After .... (ELF) .... done I get<br>
dracut: Fatal no or empty root = argument<br>
dracut: Refusing to continue<br>

</font><br>
<small>I then pointed filename to the wraplinux kernel:<br>
It looks like it goes further, get a scrolling screen like the
kernel is loading<br>
for instance I see:<br>
registered taskstats version 1<br>
magic number: 11:139:136<br>
freeing unused kernel memory 404k<br>
then basically the same dracut error messages and:<br>
Pid: 1 init tainted:G<br>
then a call trace<br>
<br>
vmlinuz.ltsp - does not fit in memory<br>
<br>
pxelinux.0<br>
shows fedora 11 scroll bar moving left to right at the
bottom of the screen<br>
then displays similiar dracut errors<br>
then kernel panic - not syncing. Attempted to kill init<br>
then another call trace</small><br>

<pre wrap="">It almost looks to me as if it's having trouble mounting the NFS root for the client.
It appears to be getting the kernel over tftpd and then hanging?

<pre wrap="">Hi All,
Im trying to setup LTSP using the InstallGuide and running into difficulties.
I installed a fresh copy of CentOS 6 on a Dell precision T3400 in a mixed network environment
with my dhcp server using port 1067.
I cant get into the TC console at the moment for exact specs, but its a "red faced" jammin from disklessworkstations
, manufactured june 2009, flashed to work over 1067. It works with my older versions of ltsp on centos 5.4.
I , think, followed the directions on the wiki carefully, didnt run into any problems or receive any error messages.
When the TC is booting it appears to be detected as etherboot-5.4 and attempts to load the elf.ltsp kernel.
In messages, on the server, i see
DHCPDISCOVER
DHCPOFFER
DHCPREQUEST
DHCPACK
all with sane values, dhcp looks ok
the last line is
xinetd : START tftpd pid="pidnumber" from ="ipaddy"
on the TC , it shows the dhcp negotion and the last line is:
Loading 10.10.0.58:/ltsp/i386/elf.ltsp (ELF) ... done
there it stops. No further output on TC or client.
I also tried forcing the wraplinux and pxe.0 kernels, which seem to get further. I get the scrolling bar at the bottom that
says scientific linux 6.1 on the bottom right, but ultimately results in dracut error messages and a kernel panic.
I hoping I missed something simple. Any pointers are appreciated.
Thanks
Steve
