I posted several hours a posting about a problem and I tried to study the problem and got several notes about what I watched. I have the problem that since yesterday's cvsupdate our diskless X terminals won't work. Today I cvsupdated an hour ago the last time to get rid of the problem, but no way. Symptoms: The diskless systems, AMD K7 DURON based machines, 64 MB RAM, DFI AK74-EC motherboard, Intel EtherExpress Pro/100 NIC with the lates boot rom firmware (as release 17) and a gigabyte ga660+ graphics accelerator card, boot normaly over network via PXE, connecting to a DHCP using isc-dhcp2 and loading the kernel via TFTP. This worked until yesterday perfectly. four of six terminals were started later this day after the last cvsupdate - and the crash shortly after showing the information that they try to load via TFTP. The crahs is really funny and coloured, I see the screen full of flashing, coloured 8x16 blocks as they are known from the early days of cga or vga devices in text mode. Two of these terminals were started early this day before I did the cvsupdate and buildworld and are still running. I seems to me that the pxeboot or loader code has been 'weird up' due all of our servers were cvsupdated the same time and work perfect till now. Can anyone proof this strange behaviour? -- MfG O.
