Hello Friends,

I configured ltsp for PXE Boot in Fedora 5 . But when i try to boot from Client pc through PXE Boot i got error message:

Doing the pivot_root pivot_root: pivot_root: No such file or directory Mounting the devfs filesystem mount: Mounting /devfs on /dev failed: device or resource busy Running /sbin/init exec: /sbin/init: no such file or directory Kernel Panic : Attempted to kill init!

Note:- My client pc have onboard LAN with Boot Rom supporting. Also my pc have in which i configured ltsp support Boot Rom. I also try with RHEL ES 4 but i face same problem.

Do i need an external PXE Boot lan card for my client PC.

Pls. help me & give me solution friends.

Thanks & Regards,

Mahesh Pokhriyal

Its failing at the point where it does a pivot root to wherever you stored ltsp e.g. /opt/ltsp Check the path in the dhcpd.conf file. Also check the path to tftpdroot folder. It should NOT have the leading /tftpdroot or whatever is your path.. Example for dhcpd.conf.. http://osl.birzeit.edu:8080/wiki2/index.php/Dhcpd.conf_for_LTSP

Also check your NFS exports to confirm that /opt/ltsp/i386 IS being exported..

With warm regards Koustubha Kale
