Re: [Thinstation-general] after reboot -> PXE mof exiting..

[Sander K. <ro...@ro...>]

I'm having the same problem here with thinstation 2.2.

I found out it is caused by a bug in the driver for the via rhine 
chipset. It is fixed in 2.6.18 bij this commit:

commit b933b4d93888b584eda826bffa68a3a1283f8411
Author: Roger Luethi <rl...@he...>
Date:   Mon Aug 14 23:00:21 2006 -0700

    [PATCH] via-rhine: add option avoid_D3 (work around broken BIOSes)
    
    It looks like broken BIOSes controlling Rhine chips will remain in use in
    significant numbers; such systems fail to come up via PXE after they have
    been put into D3 (power-saving) mode.
    
    This patch adds a module option for disabling the call that puts the chip
    to sleep.

Hope this helps.
