I have long suspected the following to be true and now I have irrefutable proof. The problem is that after a thin client has issued a dhcp request, the kernel is being down loaded by a server different to the one that honoured the dhcp request.
We have four servers running ltsp 3 (these have been there for a year or so) and I have recently installed a new one running ltsp 4. The ltsp 3 servers supply kernel 2.4.19-ltsp-1 to the thin clients and the ltsp4 machine supplies 2.4.24-ltsp-4. Sometimes, if you
access a shell on a machine that is connected to the ltsp 4 machine, and do a uname -a, you can clearly see the "19" kernel rather than the expectd "24".
This may (or may not) be related to an issue that I am trying to resolve, whereby some thin clients that connect to the ltsp 4 sever experience X crashes, or more precisely X does not come up at all.
It could be that the "19" kernel has different video drivers than the "24" kernel. Until I can get consistent kernels running on the
thin clients that connect to the new server, I cannot resolve the X issue.
