[K12OSN] Edubuntu 7.10 Thin Client issue

[Petri Ala-Louvesniemi]

Hello everyone!

I have been trying to setup an edubuntu thin client environment in the school I'm working. "at the moment"

The computer I'm using as a server is: Dell Poweredge 2500, it has two 1 Gigabits processors, about 2 Gigabits of memory and two network cards. The cards are: Intel Corporation 82557/8/9 Ethernet pro 100 and 3Com 3c905B 100BaseTX [Cyclone].
I'm using Intel's card to connect to internet and 3Com to share ip's for thin clients through a router.

The thin client I'm using to test the environment has: 2,5 Gigahertz AMD processor and 1,024 memory. It has integrated NIC on it's motherboard, NIC is NVidias nForce Networking controller.

I've installed Edubuntu 7.10 on the server and modified the dhcpd.conf file.
Then I run the thin client with PXE-boot and get this message:

[17179570.788000] ACPI; Getting cpuindex for acpiid 0x1
ipconfig; eth0: SIOCGIFINDEX: No such device
ipconfig: no devices to configure
/init: .: 1: Can't open /tmp/net-eth0.conf
[17179571.112000] Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!

I'm still quite an amateur with Ubuntu, I've worked with it only for a couple of months so please, make your explanation as simple as possible. Thanks!
