LTSP Gurus...Help pl : First LTSP install & Kernel panic

[Barry R Cisna]

Sanjay,

Once again delete the /opt/ltsp/i386 dir,,! only the i386 dir!
then as root do an ltsp-build-client with NO options.
After this is done,,on the server open an terminal and do
tail -f /var/log/messages ,,,leave this open

Now boot your TC,,and copy/paste what is thrown into this terminal
window onto the list here. this may show something of what is actually
making your TC fail.
Also have you tried a few different TC's or,,are you trying the exact
same TC to boot each time?
If you are trying the same TC every time, dig out another candidate as
an TC with slightly different hardware and boot it.

Also make sure you have done an!
service iptables stop ,,,in a terminal ,, to stop iptables/firewall.
before you try booting any TC's.

Take Care,
Barry Cisna

Sanjay,

Setup an virtual pxeclient on the server you are having trouble with.
You will have to install VirtualBox (or something very similar).
This works out very well for troubleshooting problems like you are
having.
Follow the instructions here. Once you have done this once or twice
setting up an pxeclient VM,,is very easy.
see if you get the same results on your VM pxeclient as you do
your,'hardware clients'.

Main thing. remeber to change your VIC on your pxeclient VM to bridged
on the ltspbr0 interface.

Take Care,
