We were able to fix the problem last night. We noticed that the Intel KU440 mobo's BIOS was version 3 on the ones that didnt boot so we updated them to the lastest version 9 and that did the trick. One other thing we noticed last night was clients thats had 32MB or less ram wouldnt open firefox or term. The app would just pop up and disappear. We ended up adding more ram and everything seemed fine. Was there that many changes from FC3/4 and FC5's K12LTSP that the clients needed more ram to run?
