[Launchpad Bug Tracker <619204@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

Until now I had a Debian Lenny box working fine as an LTSP server. 
Thin clients connected via etherboot (booting with a diskette) and loaded nbi.img from the server, or via PXE if they could be able.
The server is Pertium Core Duo 7300. DHCP is provided by another server in the same network.

I installed in the same computer a Lucid Lynx in the standard way (as a standalone machine). Afther that, I did
- sudo aptitude install ltsp-server openssh-server
- sudo dpkg-reconfigure -plow nbd -server (to create the config file, with the exports and ports)
- sudo ltsp-build-client
- sudo ltsp-update-sshkeys
- sudo ltsp-update-image 

All these steps were done fine, without any error message.

The installation works fine with PXE clients, such as laptops, but it
doesn't work with etherboot clients, booting from floppies (I tried some
of them, that were previously working). Thin clients boot, find DHCP
server, get an IP address, get nbi.img (a lot of dots appear, as usual),
the word "done" appear after the dots, and that's all. It hangs up. No
more messages. No logs anywhere. I have not any clue to know what is
going on.

The worst of all is that it doesn't give any clues: no messages, no
logs, and I couldn't find anything similar by googling. Except Launchpad
Question 118802, which I think that describes the same problem in
another environment.

Thanks in advance
