Dear list,
I'm not sure if this is the right forum for this. But anyway here
goes. i hope you could help me out. So I wanted to play around with
building my own Beowulf Cluster. Yes, I know there are easier ways to
do this. Automated tools like Caos Linux, etc. etc. Anyway, I wanted
to use gentoo and learn from the ground up. I wanted a diskless
client. So I booted a box via pxe, tftp and dhcp. it boots--- but
can't seem to find NFS.
And yes, i've googled. none have worked. I don't know what I'm missing.
I get this:
rpcbind: server 192.168.2.1 not responding, timed out
Root-NFS: Unable to get nfsd port number from server, using default
Looking up port of RPC 100005/1 on 192.168.2.1
rpcbind: server 192.168.2.1 not responding, timed out
Root-NFS: Unable to get mountd port number from server, using default
Root-NFS: Server returned error -5 while mounting /diskless/192.168.2.11
VFS: Unable to mount root fs via NFS, tryi9ng floppy.
VFS: Cannot open root device "nfs" or unknown-block(2,0)
Kernel Panic - not syncing: VFS unable to mount root fs on unknown-
block(2,0)
Both client and server have root nfs turned on it their respective
kernel.
i have turned off the firewall on the server and still get the same
error.
pxelinux.cfg is this:
DEFAULT /kernel8
APPEND root=/dev/nfs rw nfsroot=192.168.2.1:/diskless/192.168.2.11
init=sbin/init
this is rpcinfo:

arp--- that's the point where kernel panic occurs.
this is my /etc/exports file:
#/etc/exports: NFS file systems being exported. See exports(5).
/diskless/192.168.2.11
*(rw,no_root_squash,no_all_squash,no_subtree_check)

/var/log
192.168.2.11(rw,no_root_squash,no_all_squash,no_subtree_check)
my dhcp configuration is this:

#allow bootp;

# host decleration for diskless node
host node01.talon {
hardware ethernet 00:1c:c0:4f:bd:e1;
fixed-address 192.168.2.11;
}
}
I also tried this: i used the same cable and attached it to my mac and
mounted /diskless/192.168.2.11 nfs share which points to the diskless'
client's root. i was able to mount it. So i know nfs works. And yes i
made sure to turn off the mac's wireless... so only ethernet was
plugged in.
What did I miss?
Appreciate, your advice
