I'm guessing that the specific workstation doesn't know it's own 
hostname.  Or, it doesn't match what you've put in [xxxx] in the 
lts.conf file.

If you share your dhcpd.conf file and your lts.conf file, we might be 
able to figure this one out.

If you aren't doing this on the actual workstation (as opposed to an 
xterm session on the server), you won't get the results you need.

telling us the northbridge doesn't help.  You need to figure out what 
the video chipset is.
can you boot a knoppix cdrom, and do a 'lspci' ?
