 Is it a problem with PXE or is it the problem with the current
ltsp_i386-boot package included in K12LTSP? If you're client seems to get
its IP address but fails as soon as it boots and installs the via-rhine
driver and brings up the card... then you may need to go back to the last
known working version that will boot this card.

My HP t5000 has this problem. See this post (that went unanswered...)
https://listman.redhat.com/archives/k12osn/2007-April/msg00035.html

Try this simple fix: download ltsp_i386-boot-2.6.16-2.k12ltsp.5.0.0.i386.rpmfrom
ftp://k12linux.mesd.k12.or.us/pub/K12LTSP/testing/old-kernel/ and install it
with:

rpm -Uvh --oldpackage ltsp_i386-boot-2.6.16-2.k12ltsp.5.0.0.i386.rpm

This should get your HP txxxx clients up and running.

The question I still have is why is this so? Is there something we can do to
help repair this broken package?
