Gary,
I use Jason's trick of downloading a newer etherboot image for a bunch of
my machines. Here is the dhcp setup. It might trigger something.
hardware ethernet 00:50:ba:6b:d7:cc;
fixed-address 172.16.1.2;
if substring (option vendor-class-identifier, 0, 9) = "Etherboot" {
filename "/lts/vmlinuz-2.4.9-ltsp-6";
} else {
filename "/lts/eb-5.0.6-ne.lzrom.nbi";
}
next-server 172.16.1.1;
option root-path "172.16.1.1:/opt/ltsp/i386";
option log-servers 172.16.1.1;
option enabler-magic e4:45:74:68:00:00;
option kernel-command-line "NIC=ne IO=0x300 IRQ=5";
}
and at the top of the file (in the global section)
option enabler-magic code 128 = string;
option kernel-command-line code 129 = text;
Hope this helps,
Derek
