[K12OSN] Re: Dell Client boot trouble - NEWBIE - More info

Kevin,

Open up a terminal and type ltspcfg. Go to the "Show the status of all
services" option. Do you have all of the services installed, enabled and
running? (XDMCP, DHCPD, TFTPD, PORTMAPPER, NFS)

Thanks for the replies so far.  Here are the details of error I get on the
client during boot...

Mounting root filestystem: /opt/ltsp/i386 from: 
192.168.0.254
mount: RPC: unable to receive; errno = Connection refused
mount: nfsmount failed: Bad file descriptor
NFS: mount program didn't pass remote address!
mount: Mounting 192.168.0.254:/opt/ltsp/i386 on /mnt
failed: invalid argument

ERROR! Faild to mount the root directory via NFS!
Possible reasons include:
1) NFS services may not be running on the server
2) Workstation IP does not map to a hostname, either in /etc/hosts, or in
DNS
3) Wrong address for NFS server in DHCP config file
4) Wrong pathname for root directory in the DHCP config file

Kernel panic: Attempted to kill init!

Any ideas?

I removed the additions I had made to /etc/export and /etc/fstab received
the same error.

Thanks again for any help!

-Kevin
