[K12OSN] New HP clients kernel panic...

[Shawn Powers]

I have a bunch of HP t5125 thin clients, and for some reason I can't get
them to boot from my new 5.0.0 server.  Other clients boot fine, but
partway through the boot process, I get errors.  The server is freshly
updated.  Here's what I get:

(On Server's /var/messages during the bootup of a client):
Aug 22 13:38:45 vanvuren-ltsp dhcpd: dhcpd startup succeeded

The client boots "halfway" up, but then stalls and gives the following error:

Error! dhcpd failed!

Kernel Panic - Not syncing.  Attempted to kill init!


The client has a via-rhine network card, and does start to boot via PXE
quite happily.  Any suggestions, or other places I can look for
information?

Thanks,
-Shawn
