I have used the following web pages as a tutorial for how to get LTSP
to work in a mixed architecture environment:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/LTSPCrossArchSetup

I am having problems booting the client. It says it is "Please wait,
loading kernel" but just sits there.
My /etc/ltsp/dhcpd.conf file looks like this:
*********************************************************file***********************************
authoritative;
allow booting;
allow bootp;
subnet 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
range 192.168.0.20 192.168.0.250;
option domain-name "example.com";
option domain-name-servers 192.168.0.1;
option broadcast-address 192.168.0.255;
option routers 192.168.0.1;
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
# if substring( option vendor-class-identifier, 0, 9 ) = "PXEClient" {
# filename "/ltsp/i386/pxelinux.0";
# }
# else{
# filename "/ltsp/i386/nbi.img";
# }
filename "yaboot.conf";
option root-path "/var/lib/tftpboot/";
}
*********************************************************end
file***********************************
This is the /var/lib/tftpboot directory:
*********************************************************shell***********************************
daniel at daniel-ubuntu:~$ ls -R /var/lib/tftpboot/
/var/lib/tftpboot/:
ltsp yaboot yaboot.conf
/var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp:
powerpc
/var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/powerpc:
abi-2.6.17-10-powerpc System.map-2.6.17-10-powerpc
config-2.6.17-10-powerpc vmlinux
initrd.img vmlinux-2.6.17-10-powerpc
initrd.img-2.6.17-10-powerpc
*********************************************************end
shell***********************************
And here is the /opt/ltsp/powerpc directory:
*********************************************************shell***********************************
daniel at daniel-ubuntu:~$ ls /opt/ltsp/powerpc/
bin cdrom etc initrd media opt root srv tmp var
boot dev home lib mnt proc sbin sys usr
*********************************************************end
shell***********************************
Note: powerpc does not use grub. They use yaboot so yaboot.conf
should be like menu.lst.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
-Daniel
