Hi ! I have got a problem with booting via ethernet. I've compiled linux-2.0.30 for Root on NFS and configuered my NFS-Server to serve my diskless Clients. I've applied a Patch by Harald Milz so the kernel generates a few devices before starting init. But I'm getting error messages after the client mounts the nfs-root. My client get's its bootimage via tftp. After the client has mounted its root filesystem tftp makes the error msg: Mar 3 11:42:26 magic in.tftpd[650]: connect from 192.168.0.2 Mar 3 11:42:26 magic tftpd[651]: tftpd: trying to get file: /local/tftpboot/iX-Terminal/romeo/bootImage Mar 3 11:42:37 magic tftpd[651]: tftpd: read: Connection refused My client is getting his bootImage, uncompress it and after it mounts the nfs-root, my nfsd hangs. What is going wrong ??? Can anybody help me solve this Problem ? I tried booting remote with an Win95-bootimage and everythings wents well. I got a dos prompt an no error msg. I treid the same with an old linux kernel lx-1.2.12 from the iX-Terminal-Package but my client is an old i386 with no math-copro. I've tried recompiling it but gcc 2.7.2.1 don't like the old source code. Jan magic@on-line.de
