I'm setting up a LTSP 5.3.7 server on mythbuntu 12.04 for serving up 
fat-clients which will run mythfrontends.

I installed ltsp-server and created my client image like so:
$ sudo ltsp-build-client --copy-package-lists --copy-sourceslist 
--accept-unsigned-packages --apt-keys --fat-client

If I rebooted the server my clients could not boot and would hang there 
with the error message:
PXE-E32: TFTP open timeout

I had to restart the tftp to get them to boot properly.
$ sudo service tftp-hpa restart

So I came up with a nasty hack to get this working on boot, but I'm now 
wondering why it does this and can it be fixed in a more professional way?

The Hack
Create a file /etc/init.d/tftpd-hpa2 with
#!/bin/sh
sleep 10
service tftpd-hpa restart

$ sudo chmod +x /etc/init.d/tftpd-hpa2
$ sudo update-rc.d /etc/init.d/tftpd-hpa2 defaults

After reboot fat-clients can now boot.
