similar to: Problem setting up diskless boot.

Im trying to get a diskless boot set up under CentOS 5.2, and having no luck at all. I am to the point of running system-config-netboot, and whatever information I put in, I get an error message. Responding to the 2nd button on the first popup, which asks for NFS info, I put in the IP address of the current machine (the machine that will hold the boot images for the diskless machine) and the

OK, perhaps I wasnt clear in my previous posting. I am looking for either a SRPM for the CentOS 5.2 centos.plus kernel, or more likely, a diff from the kernel at kernel.org. I was pointed to the wiki, which MENTIONED a Source RPM, but didnt point to anywhere to find these for CentOS. All Ive been able to find are ISO's . I really dont need a bunch of tools that will complicate the problem,

This is a new instalation of CentOS 5.2 When I go to FireFox and try to watch a Video clip, some files transfer, and then I get the message "General Error" in the video window. I ASSUME some additional software needs to be downloaded, but what from where? When running on that Other OS, a message comes up giving you an opertunity to do the download. --

Hey CentOS list! I've got an oddity with a diskless client setup that I suspect is the result of the initrd.img I'm using, or some parameter I'm unaware -- or I need to build my own initrd image (and could use some assistance on what has to be done in that department) Testbed is defined as: VM A: ip: 192.168.250.10 with dhcp server, tftp server, nfs server VM B: pxeboot VM,

I am having a problem with setting up diskless clients under CentOS 5.2. I have everything working under CentOS 4.7. This is an adaptation of the (somewhat old) Diskless Linux with PXE HOWTO by Gerd v. Egidy, originally at the URL http://www.intra2net.com/opensource/diskless-howto/, which is now defunt (there is a mirror of it at http://blog.chinaunix.net/u/2389/showart_82438.html). What I am

Ill report this as a bug, since I havent had any response to my question about it on the mailing lists. I am trying to get at the /smb file system. My understanding is to do this I MUST go thru the smbsh. When I try executing smbsh, I see: [reg@orion bin]$ smbsh Username: rwclemens Password: ERROR: can't get smbw shared lock (Invalid argument) Looking at the code its not

I believe that'd be handled in the append line as well. If your diskless client has 2 NICs - could that be confusing things? You could try adding the line: IPAPPEND 2 to your

Hello, I've had quite a few requests for this info, so I thought I'd copy this to the list as well. Since I don't really monitor the list anymore, queries should be directed back to me if you have problems.

Hi folks, I've followed a set of instructions I found on http://www.linuxtopia.org/online_books/centos_linux_guides/centos_enterprise_linux_sysadmin_guide/ch-diskless.htmli which describes using system-config-netboot to set up PXE booting. I used a CentOS-4.3 install (custom, all options de-selected, then anaconda-busybox installed after the fact) as a reference/base. I followed the

Using Centos 5.2 upgraded from 5.0 using yum on a couple of old Dells in a lab environment. I don't think hardware is part of the problem, just need configuration help. 1: I can boot the diskless client and it come up, but when I do a "mount" command on the client, the output is indistinguishable from the output of the mount command on the server. Currently the fstab in

Having given up on getting system-config-netboot to work (reading the pointers I have received to the wiki, say it is broken), I have the simple question "What is it suposed to do???" I have tried to look at the code, but its written in python and I cant follow the logic. Im sure I can easily do whatever is necessary at the command line If I just knew what it was trying to do with its

Hello all, I have a customer that insists of using upstream vendor's diskless (system-config-netboot) rather than LTSP. The reason is that he wants to use a 100% packages from the vendor, not from LTSP or any other party. I try the vendor's diskless system, and although it's very simple to setup, it lacks the support and/or documentation whereas LTSP is very good in it. Another

Hello, I'm getting a KErnel Pannic every time i restart the server, what could be happening? I just make: "shutdown -r now" and the server gets Kernel Panic.

I'm trying to boot RedHat 9.0 on a diskless PC from a head machine running Redhat 9.0. The network appears to be setup correctly. I can boot the installation disk image fine using pxelinux. What I am trying to setup is a number of different Linux systems each with its own root directory on the head machine. I am hoping that I don't have to modify the kernel for any of these systems.

Hello all Now I may be way of whack here, so please forgive me. I''m trying to merge xen with redhat''s config-netboot. The idea being a kinda stateless domU. For those that haven''t seen you share a rootfs and then bind mount all the individual files over then top, and the redhat gui builds all the pxeboot config and stuff for you if you want a diskless client. I

Does anyone have any good how-to's or documentation on setting up read only root NFS for pxe booting diskless computers? A few months ago I stumbled upon an official Redhat doc through a google search(not hosted by redhat and I cannot find it anywhere on the Redhat site) written by Dave Kline named "Configuring diskless clients with Red Hat Enterprise Linux" from 2011. It seemed to

Hi, I am working on the diskless booting over Infiniband networks. At the moment we have created and implemented architecture which allow diskless booting of Linux nodes on x86, x86_64 and Itanium platforms. The system works by booting first small custom made Linux kernel of the Infiniband adapter ROM. The kernel has enough of infiniband stack to setup TCP/IP networking over infiniband. Then it

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi guys, Someone on the list today was asking about diskless clients. I have a guide written for doing diskless clients across NFS and PXE. I noticed there was nothing existing on the wiki for such a thing. I wanted to ask before I created the main category "Diskless Clients" under the How To page. Any objections to that there? Or suggest

Hi. I wanted to set diskless win95 but I read the list archives and I decided not to do it diskless. So I tried diskless windows but I got a problem. I do this. 1.- I did booting images with bootware proms. 2.- I managed to install DOS clients from microsoft. That was painfull because the one I downloaded from MS didn't connected to my samba server. I used a dos clients that creates a NT

I'm currently running a game (warcraft iii to be precise) in a windowed environment so I can make use of my desktop during games. Because of poor scrolling ability, I had to enable the DxGrab option for the window to lock the mouse to the window. Is there a way to escape the mouse out to the desktop? I've tried switching virtual desktops within my window manager but all the key captures
