The client has onbaord rtl8139 and pxe boots , it sees the card loads the module
and then stops. Do you think it is because the card is having a problem with the
ltsp kernel. Should I try downlaoding a new boot rom from rom-o-matic ? would
this sort it out or is the the actual kernel being loaded. If so how do I
goabout changin it ?
