Pardon the novice jumping in here, but why are you using the SERIAL image?
This thin client has both a VGA and DVI interface, as well as PS/2
keyboard and mouse connectors.
Are you not using those for your console?
I have installed AstLinux on the HP thin clients and used the VGA and
PS/2 keyboard as my console with a good deal of success.

Hi Darrick
I tried the 1625 VIA serial image and it gets further than the 1725 one.
It seems to verify and start the bootstrap of the Astlinux/Linux image.
However it then runs into USB initialisation and locks me out of the
console. I am unable therefore to change the files in the OS directory
(for example to try the 1703 image) as I have no command prompt. What I
see on the final screen (this is build 1625) is:
What exact hardware are you using? You can always pull the CF card out
and even modify the files on even a Windows machine.
It is a NeoWare E140 thin client (with 512MB flash disk module).
The disk module has proprietary data and power interfaces and hosting it
elsewhere is non-trivial.
The usual way to load images onto these is via a bootable USB stick.
"USB Mass Storage support registered."
This is on the final line of the screen, there is no command prompt and
the cursor is flashing at the start of the second line. Note that the
machine is not totally locked up as the Num and Caps lock still toggle
the keyboard lights on.
I don't think this is a usb issue, if you're not using the usb, turn
them off. Are you 100% sure that this is actually hanging up? How long
are you waiting before giving up? There may actually be activity while
the screen is blank.
I am using USB to copy the Astlinux files from a USB stick. However this
is not connected when I get these symptoms - and there is nothing else
connected apart from a monitor and a keyboard.
I will boot it up again and leave it for a longer period to see if it
sorts itself out
Thanks for your reply
