Re: [Thinstation-general] Issue with fastboot

[Don C. <don...@ya...>]

Fastboot needs to know where to look to find the lib.squash. We tell where by putting LM=# at the end of the kernel cmd line. I think 4 is for PXE, but the cmd is updated with every build. You just need to copy the pxelinux.cfg with every build in addition to vmlinuz, initrd and lib.squash

This is not my case. I made the tests with the same PC I use for all my 
thinstation tests, for a long time.
I only changed fast boot options in conf files.
I looked at net conf on the client after boot (I launched busybox on 
tty2 and used ifconfig) : everything was OK)
Just for the record : I also tested with autonet rather than netwokmanager
