Hi guys,

This may not be a ltsp problem, but I thought maybe someone might have 
across
this problem already.

We are setting up a thin client lab using ltsp 3.0 running on redhat 
7.3. Setting up the
ltsp on the server is no problem, but the client cannot boot from the sever.

The client is a Compaq Deskpro SB Evo D380m. It came with a built-in intel
eepro 100 nic. ( the pc have pxe in it ). Since we want to use the 
etherboot boot
rom, we install another 3com 3c905B with the 5.0.6 etherboot boot rom in 
the
client.

the problem is the boot rom is working well and can detect the 3c905B nic,
search for the DHCP server, connected and get an ip address, after 
getting the
ip address and located the kernel file, starting to download the kernel 
and it
hang. It hang at the kernel download section ( at the ........ after the 
(NBI) .

Running ethereal at the server show that the client seem to lost the ip 
address
that it get from the DHCP server, because after the doing tftp to the 
client until
data block 9 it stop tftp and doing arp asking where is the client ip 
address.

When we try to use a boot floppy, by taking out 3c905B nic it give the same
problem as above. We put another pc ( Dell ) and boot it using the 3c905B or
a boot floppy, it can boot the kernel and ltsp fine.

Anybody have encounter this ? any solution ?

Thanks

Regards
Din
