Hello,

I am following the How-to by Jason Pattie at ltsp.org to load etherboot
w/etherboot but the workstation hangs after loading the new etherboot
5.0.7 rom at "Boot from (N)etwork or from (L)ocal".  The workstation
boots fine from a floppy containing the same rom, ds21143.lzdsk.  

The client's NIC is a Kingston KNE100TX with a ds21143-PD chip.

The Etherboot rom I'm trying to load is ds21143 from rom-o-matic 5.0.7,
same as the floppy.

I tagged the .lzrom image with mknbi 1.2.10.

The server has RH 8.0 installed with dhcp version 3.0pl1-9.  Here is the
section from the dhcpd.conf file that deals with the VCI string:

shared-network WORKSTATIONS {
    subnet                      192.168.134.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
    range                       192.168.134.101 192.168.134.200;
    next-server                 192.168.134.254;
        if substring (option vendor-class-identifier, 0, 9)  =
"Etherboot" {
            filename "/lts/vmlinuz-2.4.19-ltsp-1";
        }
        else {
            filename "/lts/ds21143.rom.nbi";
        }
    }
}

group   {
    use-host-decl-names         on;
    option log-servers          192.168.134.254;

    host bsj001 {
        hardware ethernet       00:c0:f0:3c:65:03;
    }   


Thanks,

Erick
