I have a EMT64 server that runs a mythtv backend as well as other things |
5 |
and a AMD64 mythtv frontend which has been running with its own hard |
6 |
disk and therefore install of Gentoo for sometime. I am looking at |
7 |
building another frontend without a disk so I thought I'd experiment |
8 |
with my current frontend. I have managed to get it booting using PXE, I |
9 |
copied the hard disk contents to a directory on my server and followed |
10 |
the rest of the howto, but I have the following questions/problems: |
11 |
|
12 |
1. I can still compile/emerge on the frontend but its very slow as its |
13 |
on NFS. Can I compile on the server by chrooting? Basicallly I want to |
14 |
know if I can compile on EMT64 targeting AMD64. The frontend was |
15 |
installed with stage 1 so I guess the compiler won't even run in a |
16 |
chroot'ed environment. |
17 |
|
18 |
2. The Gensplash is compiled into the kernel. It appears at startup with |
19 |
the 'Initialising kernel' screen but the progress bar never appears. It |
20 |
just shows that screen until X is started. Any ideas what might be wrong |
21 |
here or where I should start to look? |
22 |
|
23 |
3. My DHCP server issues static routes, but since I've made the frontend |
24 |
boot over PXE (static IP address) it never gets the routes. Any ideas? |
25 |
|
26 |
Cheers for any help, |
27 |
Dave. |
