help with network boot

[vin_kudva]

hi there

we have knoppix v3.2 and plan to setup a cluster on 3 machines.
we booted one of the machines with the knoppix cd and using the knoppix-terminal set the ip address and range,net mask and stuff and started the server. when we tried to net boot the clients.the usual knoppix logo and stuff came and then it gave us the following message on the 2 client machines


****************************
DHCP broadcast for IP address(1) kmod failed to exec /sbin/modprobe -s -k eth0 errno=2

Have you another DHCP server in your network?

[vin_kudva]

I also have the same prob, the same message comes up when I try to start up the clients machines. Im running EPIA-M and EPIA-V with a 16-port 3com hub, no other dhcp servers or alike, any suggestions?

[hades255]

I just figured out how to sollve this problem. Apparently its a hardware prob. so what I did is recompile the vmlinuz that is created on /tftpboot/vmlinuz with the apropiate network driver, luck! More details in a couple of days.

* hades out...
