LTSP - Server AMD64, Thin Clients i386

[operationsengineer1 at yahoo.com]

hi all,

at the suggestion of someone more knowledgeable than i, i did the following with an i386 cd on an amd64 edubuntu gutsy server:

mount cdrom 
sudo ltsp-build-client --arch i386 --mirror file:///cdrom

then

sudo ltsp-update-kernels

and

sudo ltsp-update-sshkeys

i got further along in the client boot process, however, i still received an error.

The error begins as follows:

Begin: Running /scripts/init-bottom ...
Done.
[    80.598019] request_module runaway loop modprobe bmfmt-46k
[    80.598122] request_module runaway loop modprobe bmfmt-46k
[    80.598606] request_module runaway loop modprobe bmfmt-46k
[    80.599175] request_module runaway loop modprobe bmfmt-46k
_         <- this is a blinking cursor, this arrow and text no shown on actual screen.

 iwill try out feisty and see how it goes - the person who suggested i go this route said it worked under feisty and failed under gutsy.

Is there anyway to get this information to the ltsp and/or ubuntu guys to see if they can figure out why this approach to get intel clients matched up with an amd64 server works for feisty but not for gutsy?

hi all,

i was able to get my server's dhcp up and running 
after my reinstall.  my thin client had a problem 
accessing a file because it wasn't there...

/ltsp/i386/nbi.img

i did some googling and i think the problem is that
my server is amd64 and my clients are i386.  the
solution presented was to run...

ltsp-build-client --arch i386

is this accurate?  do i just go into the server's
command line and run this?  do i need internet
access for this to work (the lab doesn't have
internet access)?

can anyone help me proceed?  i think i'm pretty
close to getting this school lab up and running.

tia...
