Re: via thin client pxe fails after upgrade

[nigel barker <tech@hiroshima-is.ac.jp>]

Further to this, the Via clients work perfectly on a SL3 server that 
hasn't been updated, but none of them work on either an updated server, 
nor a fresh net-install.
They have via VT6102 rhine II  v 2.13 onboard LAN with Intel UNDI PXE 2.0
They halt at the very beginning, the same as they would do if unplugged.

why do these things happen on the second day of school? Anyway, I 
survived by plugging in some computers that are in for repair, and some 
laptops that can pxe boot. Luckily no-one booked them out so early in 
the school year.
