Re: [ILUG-BOM] Diskless Nodes

Hello Kiran,

what is the client configuration? we had a p166 client which could not boot past the loading kernel stage. what turned out to be was libc issue. we had to use libc made for i386. our server was a pIII and it was using libc for i686.

i figured out that problem was with TFTP. Now the kernel loads very well but afterwards it panics and gives some NFS error ( Error! Failed to mount the root dir via NFS! ) . I guess I'll have to RTFM to debug the thing ...

BTW, how have you setup diskless boot client configuration? i mean the filesystem, did you followed the howto method to create it or any other?

ummm... i configured with the help of LTSP ( www. ltsp.org ) , i boot using etherboot floppy.
