what client hardware are you using? I have the exact same issue with ThinkNIC boxes.

I have tired three TFTPD packages, but I think they were just different versions of the same tftpd server - I will try the tftpdd-hpa one and see if it helps - sometimes I have to restart a thinkNIC client 8 or 10 times before it boots up - I have turned verbose(-v) logging on in tftpd and it has nothing valueable to offer...

Hi,

I am running LTSP 3 on RedHat 7.1. Every so often, my terminals refuse
to boot and I don't know why! They get their IP address and then do the
whole "loading 10.22.67.25/tftpboot/vmlinuz.ltsp..." but the loading
dots appear very slowly, and the machine never boots. It is very
frustrating, as there is no pattern as to when it happens. In the end
if I reboot the server everything works fine again.


If anyone has any ideas as to what to do to find / fix the problem I'd
be extremely grateful!



Though it says /tftpboot, this does not necessarily mean...
are you using tftp or nfs? In case of the first, I'd try another tftp daemon (yours could be buggy). If you don't use it yet, I heard people recommend tftpd-hpa (download it from the links you find on www.etherboot.org -> download -> sourceforge).
In case you use nfs: I saw this myself. I changed (back) to tftp and did not have this problem again.
