I found what package is causing this, and maybe then someone can tell what is wrong with the package. It looks like initrd-netboot-tools from etch has some problems. If I use initrd-netboot-tools from sarge, my little test-network here which consists of an old workstation as server, and 2 thin clients booting PXE, behaves much better. so here is my preliminary advise for those who want to use pr06 and the new ltsp: echo "deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian sarge main contrib" >> \ /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/apt/sources.list mount -t proc proc /opt/ltsp/i386/proc chroot /opt/ltsp/i386/ apt-get update chroot /opt/ltsp/i386/ apt-get install \ initrd-netboot-tools=0.5.3cvs.20040906-16 chroot /opt/ltsp/i386/ dpkg-reconfigure kernel-image-2.4.27-2-386 ln -sf /opt/ltsp/i386/boot/vmlinuz /opt/ltsp/boot/initrd.img \ /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp Please test this, and if you have a larger network to test on, please give feedback at http://bugs.skolelinux.no/show_bug.cgi?id=991 - -- Finn-Arne Johansen [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://bzz.no/ Debian-edu developer and Solution Provider -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFDnr8RAG8SFQYuZkIRAm9CAJ4uVYsXm/DVLO1TJZhkjO43lKt1oQCfbhwf BsZc040M06XkZ8/G95jwoJw= =HuVO -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
