Re: [Ltsp-discuss] Symbio clients and Hardy Heron.

[Rob O. <rob...@bi...>]

I'm having trouble with this as well.  I have a fully-updated Hardy 
64-bit system.  It's not a fresh install, but I did a fresh build of the 
chroot environment, following the instructions below.  My SYM1112 units 
won't boot to completion (I even left one going overnight).  They hang 
somewhere near 3/4 of the Ubuntu "progress bar" being filled in, if that 
makes any sense to you.

I'm using LTSP 4.2 as my primary system, so this is not a big problem 
for me.  Still, I'd like to get LTSP 5 working w/ these clients.  I'll 
be glad to test more if anybody has any suggestions for config changes.
