This might sound strange for some of you guys, but we're still working
with LTSP 4.2 and a Suse 10.3 server.
So I tried LTSP 5 on our system for the first time, using SuseEducation
11.2 and KIWI-LTSP 5. I prepared an older machine with a new system and
set it up like described in the documentation. There were some glitches,
and I'd like to discuss how to proceed.
My first impression was that the clients take way much longer time to
boot into the login screen. Loading initrd produces some long lines of
dots and takes at least 5 sec (against half a second on our current
system). Booting takes much longer, producing a lot of messages in the
startup script like on any ordinary Linux system. All in all it lasted
at least 90 sec or longer to boot a client.
First question: Is that normal with LTSP 5 or can it be optimized?
There are DellOptiplex PIII clients which seemed to run flawlessly.
The Siemens Scenic P6 ones, however, fail when switching into graphics
mode. The screen goes black, and that's it. They have Matrox video cards
(maybe 4, maybe 8 MB, I'm not sure right now) which aren't that bad, but
it might need tweaking Xorg configuration.
So my second question: where do I have to go here?
Thank you for any hints!
Regards
Rolf
