[K12OSN] Re: K12OSN] New HP clients kernel panic...

[William Fragakis]

Shawn,
There was a thread on this on the ltsp list a couple of days ago, and
iirc, the immediate hack around was to revert to 2.6.16 kernel for the
clients. I ran into the same issue when trying to etherboot an older
donated PC running a PIII 533 CPU with K12LTSP ver. 5 that had worked
fine with 4.4.2. I was completely foxed as other, old clients booted
fine. 


regards,
William

It should be in your tftpboot folder. Just change your dhcpd.conf to
use the correct kernel.
