[Pkg-ltsp-devel] Bug#458127: ltsp client does not boot correctly

[Theodore Flamouropoulos]

Package: ltsp-server 
Version: 5.0.39 debian1 


I just installed the ltsp-server package (using aptitude) on a vmware virtual machine that is running 'lenny' distribution with kernel 2.6.22-3-686 

The VMware setup is running on 'etch' 

I subsequently executed the command 'ltsp-build-client' which concluded after a while with a "...successfully completed." 
A quick inspection of the command output to the console did not indicate any scary warnings or errors... 

I did insert the line--> '/opt/ltsp *(ro,no_root_squash,async)' into the file /etc/exports 

I configured the separate dhcp server (on a different machine) that I have as required... 

I also noticed that although tftpd-hpa and openbsd-inetd were packages installed as dependencies, the 'tftp' entry in inetd.conf was not inserted as part of the package install. consequently tftpd did not work when I tried to boot the ltsp client. After I inserted the following entry --> 

'tftp dgram udp wait root /usr/sbin/in.tftpd /usr/sbin/in.tftpd -s /var/lib/tftpboot -r blksize' 

into inetd.conf the ltsp client successfully received the kernel from the tftpboot directory and began the booting process through the initial stage until 'something went wrong' and I ended up staring at the following lines on the ltsp client monitor: 

------------------------------------------------------- 
/init: 14: grep: not found 
/init: 14: tr: not found 
[: 14: 49152: unexpected operator 
mount: No such device 
mount: Invalid argument 
/init: 14: tr: not found 
Begin: Running /scripts/nfs-bottom 
Done:

mount: No such file or directory 
Target filesystem doesn't have /sbin/init 
No init found. Try passing init= bootargs 
(initramfs)_ 
----------------------------------------------------------------------- 

please let me know what other info you need. 

Thanks,
