Re: GC-Linux

Hi,

Can you give the exact error message nbd-client gives?

Maybe you started it the wrong way. This is how i started it:
server: nbd-server 33221 /usr/diskless/cube.swap
client: nbd-client 192.168.2.1 33221 /dev/swap

Also make you /dev/swap exists. You create it this way:
mknod /dev/swap b 43 0

It is possible you have a new version of the guide and an old version of the nfsroot. The new version of the nfsroot contains a pre-make /dev/swap.

Yesterday I also uploaded a debian/unstable(sid) nfsroot. The same guide should apply, I haven't tested it. This is for the people who claim they don't have enough bandwidth or think upgrading from stable(woody) to unstable is hard.

About ntpdate, this is a known issue. Use rdate instead.
