hello, ok i have tryed off and on for many years now to get a diskless client.... i've gotten pretty good at linux but i'm NO where near an expert yet. basilcy i'm trying to use a slightly modifed mandrake kernel and intird on my client ( with nfs root and kernel auto conf and the compilied in card drivers ) but i'm getting errors ( kernel panic - not syncing - no init found bla bla bla so i've tryed alot of stuff, even found something at ltsp ( http://wiki.ltsp.org/twiki/bin/view/Ltsp/CustomLtspKernels ) about making a custom initrd, well my question is what is needed in the initrd? no one anywhere say's anyting about that, and yes i have searched the archive and all i found was posts saying go read ramdisk and initrd, i did they don't help. what is requied in intird to get a diskless deal to boot? or even more direct, what should i add to my mandrake initrd to get it to boot?.... also is there a decent how-to on ether boot or diskless clients ? i don't mean an old and 'theroy' one i mean one that tell you every step. example www.mythtv.org their how to tells you everything. thanks ps if you need more info on my setup ask.. |
