Whats in 2.6 that you need for the thin clients? 

All my thin clients are fully supported under 2.4 (and 2.2 and 2.0) cos
that's when they date from.

Subject: [pxes-devel] 2.6 kernel


I am guessing that the 2.6 kernels are not supported yet.

When I ran pxesconfig and selected a 2.6 kernel, it complains that it can
not find any nic modules, allthough they are there. There is a big
difference in the layout pf the modules between 2.4 and 2.6. The thing I see
that could be effecting pxesconfig, is that instead of eepro100.o you now
have eepro100.ko.

Anyone using a 2.6 kernel yet?

Another thing I have come across is that pxesconfig has issues when
initializing the ram disks. It starts with a ramdisk that is too small to
hold all the files needed. If I specify a ramdisk image I created manually
it works fine. But if I just use the default pxesconfig bitches about
running out of space, then continues on as if nothing happend. This creates
an incomplete ramdisk, which wont boot.

any thoughts?
