CentOS 6 grabs i386/lts.conf for x86_64 clients

[Berend De Schouwer]

LTSP on CentOS 6 grabs /ltsp/i386/lts.conf via TFTP, despite everything else being x86_64, eg. /ltsp/x86_64/vmlinuz.ltsp and /opt/ltsp/x86_64

It should grab i386 for i386, and x86_64 for x86_64

We are working on a unified solution for a central location and daemon for the configuration to be stored and grabbed. There really is no need at the moment that I can see for a different conf file for each architecture. I'm sure there are real world instances where such are needed but they can still be combined into one file with subsections.

The lts.conf location is usually determined from the bootfile location of DHCP.
I don't know about CentOS, but for example in Debian, ipconfig in initramfs does a DHCP request, sends a "Linux ipconfig" identifier in the request, and dhcpd is supposed to answer with /ltsp/amd64/lts.conf or something similar.

Is your dhcpd configured to send the correct bootfile at the initramfs request?
