Hello, I have diskless bootup working for 4.X systems. So I am familiar with the settings for 4.X. I'm now trying to get diskless bootup set up with 5.3-Beta7. I'm getting as far as the loading of the kernel via tftp by the diskless PC. When the kernel is loaded, there's a "....[done]" and then the diskless PC is waiting for ever. So I have still forgotten something, probably a typical 5.X issue. One could be that I forgot to copy the linker.hints file, when generating the boot/kernel directory on the master PC (I only copied the *.ko files and the kernel). What am I supposed to do with that file. I have no idea what linker.hints is for. Should I let the diskless PC generate it each time at bootup? If so, how? If not, can I copy this file from the master PC (is this file different for each system?) Thanks for help! Rob. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
