Server: Dual P3/850, 1 Gb RAM, 4 x 18 Gb SCSI-3 software RAID-5, 2 x
Intel 10/100 NICs
This server has been running K12LTSP 4.4.1 for several weeks with no
problems. No configuration files or anything have been changed. Today,
thin clients cannot connect to it, giving the following text on the
screen:
Running dhcpcd on port 67
Error!! No root-path, Check your DHCP configuration, to make
sure that the 'option root-path' is specified
Kernel panic: Attempted to kill init!

The server /var/log/messages has the following:

--------
The odd things here are the tftp line, and the dhcpd strangeness after
that error. The tftpd service is running & working, I can connect to it
and get files.
I have spent most of today reading the archives here and googling all
over and have not figured it out. Any ideas would be greatly
appreciated.
