Hello list,

I´ve run into the previously discussed problem resulting in the
following hang on the client:

Mouting root file system /opt/ltsp/i386 from 192.168.0.10
Doing the pivot_root
nfs: server 192.168.0.10 not responding, still trying

[client hangs forever now]


This only happens when I connect the client with a 10MBit card to the
Server with a 100 MBit card through a 10/100 MBit - Switch (8 ports,
Allnet Switch). If either connecting Server-Client directly with a
crosspatch cable or using a 10MBit card in the server (tested with my
laptop using a 10MBit CNet-Card) or upgrading the client with a
100MBit card (tried cheap rtl8139-based) the problem is gone.
Maybe even another switch could solve the problem.


Now I wanted to ask if there is a software solution to this problem.
Maybe some config option for the nfs-server?


I mean the network stuff does work when booting the client with a
locally installed operating system, I only run into this problem
during the doing the pivot_root stage in booting the client in ltsp
client-mode.

Maybe this would also be worth mentioning in the FAQ, as I don´t seem
to be the only one affected.
