[X2go-dev] Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,255)

[Paul van der Vlis]

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 at server:~$ x2goclient --help
