Get the initrd kit and add the nic id to /etc/niclist inside the kit: tar -xvzf ltsp_initrd_kit.tgz cd ltsp_initrd_kit gunzip initrd-2.4.19-ltsp-1.gz mkdir a mount -o loop initrd-2.4.19-ltsp-1 a (as root) vi a/etc/niclist umount a gzip initrd-2.4.19-ltsp-1 #mknbi with the files bzImage.... as kernel and initrd-2.4.19-ltsp-1.gz as initrd - params not at hand Perhaps specifying "NIC=via-rhine" (or appropriate) in the option-129 of your dhcpd.conf (RTFM for details) would do the trick as well.
