[K12OSN] Another small K12LTSP 4.1.0 beta bug

[Jack]

Just installed LTSP 410 and I keep running into a problem with all 3 of
my terminals not booting.  They boot about halfway then fail.

All my terminals are getting kernel panics.  All 3 fail with identical
errors, like so:
--------------------------------
Running /linuxrc
Mounting /proc
linuxrc: Installing e100 driver
modprobe e100
Running dhcpcd on port 67

**** /bin/dhcpdcd: already running
**** /bin/dhcpcd: if not then delete /etc/dhcpc/dhcpcd-eth0.pid file

ERROR! dhcpcd failed!

Kernel panic: Attempted to kill init!
<3>e100: eth0 NIC Link is Up 100 Mbps Full Duplex
--------------------------------

On the server side I get this in the messages log:

--------------------------------
Jul 18 03:13:30 tserver dhcpd: DHCPDISCOVER from 00:a0:c9:75:ca:27 via
eth0
Jul 18 03:13:31 tserver dhcpd: DHCPOFFER on 192.168.0.251 to
00:a0:c9:75:ca:27 via eth0

Jul 18 03:13:59 tserver dhcpd: DHCPREQUEST for 192.168.0.252
(192.168.0.254) from 00:a0:c9:75:ca:27 via eth0
Jul 18 03:13:59 tserver dhcpd: DHCPACK on 192.168.0.252 to
00:a0:c9:75:ca:27 via eth0
Jul 18 03:13:59 tserver rpc.mountd: authenticated mount request from
ws252.ltsp:657 for /opt/ltsp/i386 (/opt/ltsp/i386)
--------------------------------

It looks to me like the client(terminal) is trying to get another IP for
some reason.  All terminals are using e100 NICs (Intel e100).  I suspect
this may be a problem with the Intel driver.  I'll have to try another
NIC but right now all three of my terminals are using Intel 100's and I
don't feel like ripping them apart at this moment.  Otherwise the server
is looks and runs great.  Thanks again guys for the great work.
