I have had this happen a couple of times, and every time (for a reason I'm not sure of) it is because the Edubuntu server doesn't have Internet access.
This happened once when I had to restrict Internet access for the kids - I just unplugged the cable from eth1, and later on that day they started having problems booting up. The other time was when someone on-site "re-arranged" a hub in another office, disconnecting the other side of the cable going to eth1. The only reason I can think of is that the clients attempt to resolve/reach a host that they can't, and time out. - Jordan Jonathan Carter wrote: > Hi Stephen > > On Fri, 2006-09-15 at 15:23 +0100, STEPHEN JACOBS wrote: > >> After loading essiential drivers the client stops on mounting root >> system. >> >> I have seen a number of questions similar on the internet but no >> solutions. >> I would happily recieve any help. >> Being new to linux please assume i know nothing! :) > > Usually when that happens, you will get one or two error messages that > will let you know where to fix it.
