Hi There.
i am attempting to test out the diskless-server features of Mythbuntu, and have installed the "Diskless Server" and "DHCP Server" options in the Mythbuntu Control Center.
I have built the image and run dpkg-reconfigure on mythbuntu-diskless-server to make sure the appropriate directory is exported via NFS. I see the i386.img file in '/opt/ltsp/images'.
I copied the dhcpd.conf file from '/usr/share/doc/ltsp-server/examples' and placed in '/etc/dhcp3'. I also created a directory called "ltsp" and made a symlink to '/etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf' in there (I wasn't sure it was really needed, but I did it anyway; didn't see any harm)
Anyway, I am testing with my laptop, and it gets an IP address and such from my Mythbuntu server. It then tries to boot via TFTP but eventually fails with 'PXE-E32 TFTP open timeout'.
The only change I made to the dhcpd.conf file was to tailor it to my network. Here it is, in its entirety:
#
# Default LTSP dhcpd.conf config file.
#
authoritative;
subnet 10.215.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
range 10.215.1.100 10.215.1.199;
option domain-name "murrell-van.local";
option domain-name-servers 10.215.1.1,10.215.1.254;
option broadcast-address 10.215.1.255;
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
option routers 10.215.1.254;
#next-server 192.168.0.1;
#get-lease-hostnames true;
option root-path "/opt/ltsp/i386";
if substring( option vendor-class-identifier, 0, 9 ) = "PXEClient" {
filename "/ltsp/i386/pxelinux.0";
} else {
filename "/ltsp/i386/nbi.img";
}
}
Here is the relevent entry from my '/etc/inetd.conf' file:
2000 stream tcp nowait nobody /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/nbdrootd /opt/ltsp/images/i386.img
Is there a step I am missing? Any light you might be able to shed on this would be appreciated.
Other than a DHCP acknowledgement between the Mythbuntu server and my laptop, there is nothing in my logs that I can see (I checked 'syslog' and 'messages')
Thanks, in advance.
