Editing the lts.conf should not matter for booting the server at all. That it loses a NIC when you update is also not a good sign. And you really should do those updates. I understand that your server machine has lots of Nvidia chips in it, these have given me some trouble recently. I'd suggest to try using one the P4 clients as the (temporary) server. And get a "real" second NIC, I doubt the USB thingy will work reliably. I also wonder, none of these machines have PXE builtin?
