I have verified all that all of the network settings are correct and for the newly imaged machine. I can ping the machine when it is frozen but I am unable to ssh to it. I can't do a ctrl+alt+f1 either to break into one of the virtual termainals. I even shut off the golden client to ensure that only that machine was on in case there was duplicate network information, but the machine still froze.

I then imaged the machine that previously was the golden client, not freezing up, with the new image and that machine began hanging. So it does appear to be something with systemimager, but I can't put my finger on it. > > ------------------------------------------------------- > This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek > Welcome to geek heaven. > http://thinkgeek.com/sf > _______________________________________________ > Sisuite-users mailing list > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/sisuite-users -- Richard N.
