[Core ifconfig]

I made the changes to /usr/pluto/diskless/113/etc/fstab as you suggested, but they don't seem to have made a difference.

My network setup is pretty straightforward -

192.168.0.1 - modem/router, DHCP disabled
192.168.0.2 - core, running DHCP (device 1)
192.168.0.3 - diskless VIA Epia SP13000, not currently used (device 94)
192.168.0.4 - diskless Intel laptop (device 113)

All devices are connected via 85MB Powerline ethernet.

Re-mounting the disk appear seem to make a difference. The outputs are as follows -

I'm having trouble performing a diskless boot using version 0704. The boot runs to LMCEUpdate_Apply.sh after which nothing else happens. Pressing any key dumps me to a login prompt.

I've tried this with two different PCs (a via sp13000 and an Intel laptop) - both appear to fail at the same place with only the timestamps and hostnames differing. I've rebuilt the boot images as described at http://wiki.linuxmce.com/index.php/Automatic_diskless_boot_of_media_directors, but without success.

Other 'read-only', 'permission denied' warnings/errors also appear earlier in the log - are these legitimate, or can they be ignored?

Any help would be much appreciated.
