[K12OSN] Help: hangs after loading vmlinuz ... Done

[John L Bartelt]

Thanks for the reply. I checked a couple of the boxes and they seem to work
OK. In fact I used one of these very boxes several years ago in a cluster
with an earlier version of LTSP and kernel and they worked well.

What I'm wondering is if the 2.4.26-ltsp-2 kernel supports the Athlon K7s?
Perhaps I should build a new one?

John

Do these boxes have a cdrom or floppy drive? (or some other way to boot
them?).

I'd test 'em out with knoppix or something similar to make sure they work.

I have tried to use an Athlon K7 as a terminal, but I use my Athlon 64
laptop as a test terminal on a regular basis.
