I have 25 old AMD K7 really thin clients ( no hd, cd, or floppy) that I used
in a ltsp computing cluster (local apps) several years ago. I want to
resurrect the cluster, but have to use a new server. So, I put in a new
server with the latest ltsp (4.1.1). The clients all have a Linksys LNE
100TX NIC with bootrom ver 1.4 and etherboot ver 2.5.8. Unfortunately, I
couldn't get booted up with these NICs and any of the kernels in the current
distribution. (kernel panic, can't mount nfs, etc).

Fortunately, I had a newer Linksys NIC with bootrom 1.7 and etherboot 5.0.5
from another project. Using it, everything works fine.

So now my question: Do I have 25 orphans? I can't really afford to get new
eproms or NICs.

I tried the option-129 MOPTS in dhcp with proto=tcp as well as all the nfs
sizes I could think of, but no success.

I'd appreciate any other suggestions you might have.

Thanks,
John
