Mythbuntu-diskless on 11.10 beta 2 not working

[obrienmd]

I'm fairly familiar w/ PXE-based netbooting, but stuck here...

1. I followed the instructions here: http://www.mythbuntu.org/wiki/networ...buntu-diskless
2. I am stuck at the attempted mount of the nbd device at '/'
3. PXE booting is fine, pxelinux default config is loaded, but then connection is noted as 'refused' for the nbd service
4. I verified nbd works fine by running nbd-client at another workstation and mounting the device
5. I believe the issue is due to pxelinux default config pointing to nbd_name, but defaulting to DHCP server for the server IP
6. I am not sure what variable in pxelinux default config to set for server IP

Did you get this working? I think I have run into the same issue.

Have been using mythbuntu diskless for several years, but this one has me stumped. I think ltsp might have changed.

When I remove quiet and splash from the pxlinux.cfg/default file, I get a steady stream of errors reporting the nbd magic number

[ 5.073687] nbd0: Wrong magic (0x25609513)
...
[ 5.269567] SQUASHFS error: squashfs_read_data failed to read block 0x0
[ 5.270057] SQUASHFS error: unable to read squashfs_super_block
mount: mounting /dev/nbd0 on /rofs failed: Input/output error

I was able to resolve the issue by rebuilding my i386 image.
sudo rm /opt/ltsp/i386
sudo ltsp-build-client or sudo ltsp-build-client --arch -i386 (if running on a 64bit server)
/etc/init.d/nbd-server restart
