[K12OSN] problems migrating RH8.0 + LTSP -> K12LTSP

[Mauro Faccenda <faccenda nucleorecife com br>]

Hi people,

I'm working for a school here in Brazil, and due to licensing problems, 
I suggested them to migrate all the Win95 boxes to Linux with LTSP.

So, I installed one Server with RH8.0 and LTSP (+- 6 months before). 
Guided by the LTSP documentation.

The box:
Athlon XP 1800+ (single)
1GB RAM DDR
HD 18GB SCSI 10k rpm
3COM Ethernet (10/100mbps) - I don't remember the model.

The major terminals are 486 with ethernet (ISA NE2000 - 10mbps). And 
some K6-2 on-board (Davicom 8129(?) - 10/100mbps) and fewer P-100 (ISA 
NE2000). TotaL: 25 terminals.

Due to problems with autosense of the server ethernet card or hub, i had 
to change their configuration to work only at 10mbps.

And all worked, with some unstability, but worked.

After some time, due power problems, I lost all data in the server 
(except some configuration files that I did backups). I had to install 
everything again. So, I decided to migrate do K12LTSP.

I installed all, and got something working... except some terminals...

- The K6-2 didn't work. Aparently the vesa driver (wich were used 
before, and had worked) doesn't work anymore. I Tryied the sis driver, 
and got a blured(?) screen.
OBS: The on-board video card is the SIS530 (6236 chipset - not sure).

Does anyone had some suggestion for getting these K6-2 to work?

And some suggestion to segment, or get the ethernet working at 100mbps?

Remembering that the re$our$e$ are very short at these moment.


Thanks,
  Mauro

PS: excuse my english if I did some mistake
