Here's my situation after about 3 hours of troubleshooting to reliably reproduce my issue:
1) Booting a set of 8 thin-clients (HP T5530s to be exact) works fine. DHCP is snappy. 2) REbooting the same 8 thin-clients after hitting LDM login screen will cause them not to obtain an IP address via DHCP at initial PXE boot. Server's daemon.log shows DHCPOFFER, but the clients don't accept and continue to DHCPDISCOVER. 3) After rebooting the same clients, the server console will lag 2-3 minutes upon local login. tty login, GDM login, doesn't matter. Lag occurs on tty right after motd (but before bash prompt) displays. 4) After sitting idle for about 10 minutes, normal operation resumes. Server login (tty/gdm) works, booting TCs works, etc. All I have to do is boot the same set of thin-clients, then re-boot them to cause the issue again. 5) I'm about to jump off a cliff. ;) I suspect a recent Linux kernel upgrade is to blame, but I really am not sure where to turn. This is happening at 2 of my 7 sites, and I suspect more - but the techs probably aren't aware of it yet. Is anyone experiencing these issues? I'm using the 2.6.24-21-server (smp) kernel on HP ProLiant ML370 G5 servers and the same version -generic in the chroot after updates.
