My issue is either the Linux driver or the card.  I am verfying with a
different OS, Etherboot can grab the kernel but Linux doesn't work.  Its
only hint is that the IRQ may be dropped...

Can't log into client unless someone logged into server?

Hello,

  I have a client who we just set up LTSP for. It is working well except 
for on minor issue.
GDM will not come up (we are running Ximian Gnome) unless a user is 
logged into the server.
As long as a user is logged into the server everything is cool but????

  Any ideas on how to fix this?

Sincerely,

Joshua Drake

DHCP can't start


Hi,

I'm getting this messages when I want to start my DHCP service.

Metrics for LTSP Server Hardware Requirements


Has anyone developed any metrics for determining LTSP
server requirements.  I made some that seem to work
pretty well.  But it's for memory and CPU, what about
disk performance?  At how many simultaneously active
users should we require what kind of performance in a
typical office environment?

Has anyone setup workstations with network redundancy
(two NICs in each workstation)?  My experience so far
is that switches are my most common point of failure. 
It may not happen often but being so widespread, the
disaster is pretty severe when it happens.  

Also.... is flash worth the extra money?  It already
boots and provides a login prompt pretty reasonably
fast.

Re: eepro10 (82595)

>To understand all this here a few questions:
>The eepro driver in the 2.4.22 kernel is from version 0.12c by aris
>is this the same driver which is used for etherboot?

No, Etherboot drivers are different from Linux drivers although usually
the Linux driver is used as a starting point. You'd have to look at the
comments in the eepro.c file to see which version I based it on. I think
it's from a 2.2 driver, it was a while back. You'd have to read the
Developer Manual to understand the differences between Etherboot and
Linux drivers.

Even in Linux, drivers for old hardware are still evolving as hackers
discover that their guesses have to be modified when the code doesn't
handle some model or some particular situation. This means that the
Etherboot driver also becomes "out of date" too.

>is there an extra circuity for handling dhcp / is it harcored ???

DHCP is handled just like any other network packet, by the software that
drives the hardware. You will not find a special DHCP transistor on the
board. :-)

>what does the driver has to to with the dhcp things, i allways thougt
>is just for i/o on a very basic layer

I don't understand the question.

Since the hardware appears to work, it's probably that the Etherboot
driver doesn't initialise the hardware correctly to receive any kind of
packet.  Unfortunately this kind of problem is time consuming to track

As ken said, I might be willing, but first confirm whether that card
works in that PC under Linux.  I have a similar problem with an old ISA
card and it is either a card or driver issue because the Linux driver
does not work (Etherboot works fine).  

Start Linux on that machine (local) configure the card and get it
working.  If you can reliably use the card in Linux I will be willing to
help out.

Yes, it is running. I can boot and login regular ethernet workstations

Caught SIGHUP

hi... 
i'm trying to use my Diskless Computer (DC) with LTS
(latest :: 3.0), when i start my Server (RedHat80
+NFS+TFTP+DHCP3) there isn't problem... but  when i
try to start my DC, i only see :

"Caught SIGHUP"

... i'm using Ehterboot and, i can see the Linux
Kernel is loaded!!, the FS (NFS) is mounted...but i
think the INIT is wrong... the runlevel is 2, how can
i fix that???

Hardware problems??? i don't know.... 

DC:
Pentium 200MHz, 64 MB Ram, SIS, Nic RTL8139
Server
P4 2.4, 512 RAM, MB Intel 845P, Nic Intel.

thanks...

PD:
sorry... my english is so bad
