I now have more info to share: The client is an old laptop with 512 MB of ram and so is fat. The video ram is 16384 kBytes. The cpu is an old celeron coppermine (pentium 3.) The bios is set to boot pxe using the onboard nic. I edited in /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/pxelinux.cfg/default so that the append line is: append ro initrd=initrd.img-3.2.0-4-486 init=/sbin/init-ltsp root=/dev/nbd0 Booting the client (skipping the first several lines) the last few from the client are: Begin: Running /scripts/local-premount ... done. Begin: Running /scripts/local-bottom ... done. done. Begin: Running /scripts/init-bottom ... modprobe: module overlayfs not found in modules.dep [ 7.518843] aufs: module is from the staging directory, the quality is unknown, you have been warned. [ 7.533145] aufs 3.2-20130204 done. At this point the client waits but without an indication or log to point to what it waits for. Is it possible that something happens in or with the script /sbin/init-ltsp? The client's kernel has not panicked. The server can ping the client but ssh is refused. On the client when pressing Alt+SysRq+r the client responds: [ 53.064089] SysRq : Keyboard mode set to system default When pressing Alt+SysRq+e the client responds: [ 59.122614] SysRq : This sysrq operation is disabled. When pressing Alt+SysRq+i the client responds: [ 65.000246] SysRq : This sysrq operation is disabled. When pressing Alt+SysRq+s the client responds: [ 72.204238] SysRq : Emergency Sync [ 72.204454] Emergency Sync complete Richard ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Own the Future-Intel® Level Up Game Demo Contest 2013 Rise to greatness in Intel's independent game demo contest.
