Can't boot thin clients

[Rehan Afzal]

Thanks for the reply !
  I got it to connect the thin clients.
   
  Actually Edubuntu uses the dhcp.conf in the /etc/ltsp and I was going for the default one in dhcp3 !
   
  Actually you pointed it correctly, I can't boot any i386 clients with my AMD Server !
   
  Any work around on that ?
  I got some stuff on mknbi but it conflicts again ( with AMD )
   
  Thanks and Regards
  Rehan

According to this, you not only run an amd64 server, your thin clients must
be amd64 too. Does /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/amd64/pxelinux.0 exist?

You might just have /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/pxelinux.0 and
/opt/ltsp/i386/ which might be what you want for your thin clients, in
which case you need to edit the dhcp config to point to those instead.

Alternatively, you may have amd64 thin clients (which would be very
powerful thin clients) and you need to build that environment, in which
case you probably need to run something like:

sudo ltsp-build-client --arch amd64

so build the ltsp environment for amd64 thin clients.
