Can you describe at exactly what point in the boot process you get the error. If you press the [pause] button you should be able to stop it and give us a rough summary. > Even adding 32 Mb to total it to 64 Mb has been no success.

Did you take a look at these posts? http://riverdale.k12.or.us/mailarchives/k12ltspdig/961.html http://riverdale.k12.or.us/mailarchives/k12ltspdig/962.html http://riverdale.k12.or.us/mailarchives/k12ltspdig/963.html I can't say this is the answer, but it certainly looks like a similar problem. You should have this in /etc/ltsp/dhcpd.conf: if substring( option vendor-class-identifier, 0, 9 ) = "PXEClient" { filename "/ltsp/i386/pxelinux.0"; } else{ filename "/ltsp/i386/nbi.img"; } which will determine what gets downloaded first. The nbi.img is quite big (6MB) whereas the pxelinux.0 is small (13K). If you're using PXE you need to be sure you're downloading pxelinux.0 not nbi.img. I can't see how increasing to 96MB RAM would have solved that though.
