Hello list,
Just done a fresh install of K12LTSP 4.4.1.This is the first time I
ve tryed to get IMACS& EMACS to boot up.The firmware version on the
IMAC im trying to bootup..is 3.0. At startup, I do the
,,Apple+Options+f+o. I type at the command line--- boot
enet:serveripaddress.There is.. approxiamatley 2 min delay,,then i
get Server Ip address[ correrct IP address] then a second line
server IP address[ ffffffffff] then i get a line of
yaboot.conf..This were MAC stops...;( At
server,/tail/var/log/messages is showing"load size is too
small",error writing 4 bytes to socket xxx. About three years
ago,,when We fisr started into K12LTSP...i did get the
server[ffffffff].it turned out to be we still had a windows server
doing dhcp,as well.It came up to the same error message ID'ing the
server. I did edit the /opt/ltsp/ppc/etc/lts.conf file to refelct
the ip address (eth0),of our server ( not default ip address).
My testbed is on a seperate switch,,directly from the K12LTSP server
so as to not have any conflict with other network,, "stuff".Is it
possible older/firmware versions,,arent smart enough to network boot
corretly?
This is the translucent "blue" cased IMAC..
Do i need to hand edit any other files,& should the 192.168.0.254
server ip address be left alone?.[ in the ppc/etc/lts.conf folder].
Ive read lots of posts were people dont have any trouble booting the
IMACS from either the "N" key or from the boot enet: command line,,
Anyone have any ideas??
Thanks,
Barry Cisna
