<font size="-1">actually I have .. eventually<br>
<br>
I noticed you made a notation that there were bugs with CentOS6,
so I went and installed a fresh copy of SL6.1<br>
<br>
I followed the instructions to setup the EL6 root. I only have a
single nic in the box I'm using as a server, Dell precision T3500,<br>
but set it up to act like the second nic, the TC network nic. set
the interface to include the bridge statement as per instruction.<br>
<br>
I'm using the stock /etc/ltsp/dhcpd.conf and
/var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/lts.conf files. I'm using ltsp-dhcpd on
standard port 67. Im using the default <br>
172. address scheme. <br>
<br>
I was going thru a managed switch, but now have my one year old
Dell inspiron laptop connected directly to the server and pxe
boot.<br>
<br>
It will find the server, get an address in the range given in
dhcpd.conf. It will load the kernel.ie; "dracut: Starting Plymouth
daemon", then see <br>
about 50 lines of my laptops hardware detected, but it will not
load the root. <br>
<br>
I get a dracut warning "No root device "dhcp" found". I went
into pxelinux.cfg/default and added rdshell to the initrd line. I
also played around with <br>
root line trying some different things to no avail. I also copied
the root-path statement in the nested if loop and pasted it under
the next server statement in dhcp.conf<br>
just to be sure its seen. <br>
<br>
It seems that I have the same basic problem I was having before. I
just, for some reason, cannot mount the chroot.<br>
(Almost) All my earlier attempts using the jammins and CentOS6
would end with dracut warnings. <br>
<br>
There doesnt seem to be any noticeable change at all if I try
using nbd. ( tried with Fedora 11 root. I have both installed,
/opt/ltsp/fed11-i386 and /opt/ltsp/i386 )<br>
<br>
I must be doing something fundamentally wrong somewhere, but dont
know what. Im sitting here at a debug shell plotting my next
move. <br>

Modern LTSP does not use XDMCP so this is not related to your problem.
More likely the Geode GX2 in the Jammin-125 is just too old and broken
to work with the Fedora 11 kernel. Did you try modifying the
/opt/ltsp/i386/pxelinux.cfg/default file to make it display verbose
messages?
