[K12OSN] K12LSTP server crashes shortly after loading desktop

[Doug Simpson]

Edit the /etc/grub.conf and go back to the oldest kernel on there and try 
it and see what happens.  If that doesn't make it work, others may have 
insight.  I have never gotten this resolved on a server, but the clients 
work fine.

Mine is set to boot to init 5 but not load X on the server. . . Works ok 
that way (server is on a closet anyway so X not needed there. . .)
