Optoma have been recommended as a good source in the UK -
http://www.optoma.co.uk/ - but their French site
http://www.optoma.fr/ does not show any thin client products.
Could be worth an email though

Typically a hard power reset is hardware/driver related. If it only
happens when PCs are connected, it sounds suspiciously like the NICs.
What type are they?
All types possible. The one in the server is on-board (an Asus
motherboard). The clients vary from ISA 10MB/s to PCI 100MB/s and

Well - if they ripped all the hardware out and swopped the OS a few
times (as they said they did) - there is really very little else left
but *the network* besides electromagnetic disturbances from planet Zog.
Actually, it might be the clients. There might be a couple of defective

Fair questions.
- Yes, the new hardware include different disks, and whole new OS
installation;
- Yes, data was copied across. Documents and the .mozilla directory;
- Using standard IDE 40GB 7200rpm disks;

Client boots and gets network ID, etc. fine but craps out getting X.

through them all line by line

Ricardo,
First thing I'd look at is memory. With 10 clients running KDE, you are
definately pushing the machine.
I'd grab memtest86 and run it for a while, and see if you find any
problems with the ram. You can put memtest86 in the grub.conf, and
run it at boot time.

Brian,
What happens if you take out all of the MODULE_xx entries ?
ltsp-4.1 should be able to auto-detect your usb modules, and it should
just work. There is a script called 'rc.usb' that will first
try to load usb-uhci and then usb-ohci.
Then, it will try to modprobe each of:

Thanks for your answer. But it is not overheating: many times the server

there is no pattern over when it is locking. Many times it will lock in
the morning and then spend the rest of the day without problems. Also,

Ricardo,
1) This wouldn't happen to be a Dell server with RAID, would it?
2) Can you set the server to log to a remote machine. Sometimes that
will provide you with logs that couldn't be written locally when the
lock up occurs.
