This is the same problem that I (and others) have reported. DHCP works for the PXE load, but then the kernel DHCP fails. This started right after installing LTSP 4.2 (with the 2.6 kernel). There is no fix that I know of. I did find a work around that works for me: I noticed if I hooked the LTSP client up to a cheap D-Link 5-port switch and then into our network, no more problem. I bought a bunch of D-Link switches and put one on each client that was having the problem. It seems to be a timing issue in the kernel and adding the switch adds enough delay to make things work (purely a guess). -- Robert Bottomley | When I die, I want to go peacefully System Administrator | in my sleep, like my grandfather, CE-CERT | and not screaming and helpless, University of California | like his passengers.
