Hello,
I did a PXEboot install using this document: http://www.x2go.org/fileadmin/doc/de.installation.x2go.pdf
After installation the thinclient does not start correct, I get an kernel panic: "Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,255)". Can somebody help me with this problem?
No problem to mount /opt/x2gothinclient/ from the client over NFS. So the NFS server works fine I think.
I followed the manual and did not see problems. I will add some little points on the manual at the end of this mail, but this have nothing to do with my question.
With regards, Paul van der Vlis.
In the document I see: # vi /opt/x2gothinclient/etc/network/interfaces: This is wrong, the ":" is the problem.
In my /opt/x2gothinclient/etc/apt/sources.list there ia s link to the x2go repository and the normal Debian repository, maybe good to add the security repository?
I got an error about the public key of http://x2go.obviously-nice.de in the chroot. Maybe good to add the key.
While installing the kernel I got a question about initrd:
You are attempting to install an initrd kernel image (version 2.6.26-2-486). This will not work unless the boot loader is configured to use an initrd. An initrd image is a kernel image that expects to use an INITial Ram Disk to mount a minimal root file system into RAM and use that for booting. The boot loader must be configured to use such images and the system will not boot until this is done. This message will appear for any new kernel installation unless the following is added to /etc/kernel-img.conf:
"do_initrd = Yes"
Abort initrd kernel image installation? Yes/No"Yes" was the default, I choosed "no", and did later: echo "do_initrd = Yes" >> /etc/kernel-img.conf To test this behavour purge linux-image-2.6.26-2-486 in the chroot and install it again.
While configuering atftp I became this error: unrecognized option `--mcastport' Seems that the "-" of "--mcast-port" was removed while copying from PDF.
It is not /etc/dhcpd/dhcpd.conf but /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf
Sometimes you use 192.168.0 and sometimes 192.168.1, but you use a netmask of 255.255.255.0. Better te be consequent.
Starting NFS gives errors about "subtree_check",
/opt/x2gothinclient/etc/default/x2gothinclient gives many options, I don't use LDAP or PGP-cards. I've removed --pgp-card and --ldap= I changed "de" to "nl" and remove one of the two --add-to-known-hosts. I would like a link to a manual of x2goclient, or "x2goclient --help", or a man-page.
X2goclient gives errors;
paul@server:~$ x2goclient --help Can't load translator (:/x2goclient_nl_nl) ! Can't load translator (:/qt_nl_NL) ! Usage: x2goclient [Options] Options: --help             show this message --help-pack           show available pack methods (..)
