I used it with out any problems with the network boot facility on the network card rather than etherboot by adding the following section to my dhcps.conf file
host box {
if substring (option vendor-class-identifier, 0, 9) = "PXEClient" {
filename "/lts/rhine.lzpxe";
}
else {
filename "/lts/kernel";
}
hardware ethernet 00:40:63:c0:48:e7;
fixed-address 81.3.98.134;
}

I have just built a fanless client using a Via EPIA-5000 mini-ITX--

Has anybody else used Mini-ITX boards as LTSP clients?
The problem I have is that about one in three times I get a kernel panic
during boot. The problem occurs in the interrupt handler while running
dhclient. I tried searching the mailing list for similar problems, but
the search-function at SourceForge appears to be down (again)... When
the boot does complete the terminal works fine.
The kernel files I use are eb-5.0.8-via-rhine.lzpxe and
vmlinuz-2.4.19-ltsp-1. This is (part of) the error message I get:
eth0: MII PHY found at address 1
Running dhclient
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address
00000000
printing eip:

Kernel panic: Aiee, killing interrupt handler!
In interrupt handler - not syncing
Has anybody seen similar problems?
Could an older/newer kernel help? Or a different BIOS (the current one
is rev. 1.09)?
Could the fact that the video "card" and Ethernet "card" use the same
interrupt be part of the problem?
