I have a dozen ThinkNICs using LTSP4. They do not always want to boot up. They will all boot up, but sometimes I have to reboot them a dozen times before they do. A typical boot where they fail starts like a successful boot but the whole PXE/tftp process moves at a snail's pace.

During a successful boot the following lines would normally be too fast to read, but during a failed session they are printed to the screen at a rate of one line per 15 seconds or so, finally hanging when it gets to a matching entry for the file in the pxelinux.cfg directory:

PXE entry point found (we hope) at 9E54:00F9

MY ip address seems to be C0xxxxxx 192.168.0.3
IP=192.168.x.x:192.168.0.200:192.168.0.200:255.255.255.0
TFTP prefix: /lts/2.4.24-ltsp-1/
Trying to load: pxelinux.cfg/C0xxxxxx
Trying to load: pxelinux.cfg/C0xxxxx
Trying to load: pxelinux.cfg/C0xxxx
Loading


I have tried four different kernels, three different tftpd packages and the following two xinetd entries for tftp with no success:


service tftp
{
 disable = no
 socket_type  = dgram
 protocol  = udp
 wait   = yes
 user   = root
 server   = /usr/sbin/in.tftpd
 server_args  = -s /tftpboot
 per_source  = 11
 cps   = 100 2
 flags   = IPv4
}

service tftp { disable = no wait = yes port = 69 flags = REUSE socket_type = dgram protocol = udp user = root server = /usr/sbin/in.tftpd server_args = -s /tftpboot/ }

thnaks in advance for any tips.
