Alix thin client doesn't boot with Lenny
Hi All,
I'm developing a computer room with 10 thin client for a primary school.
I'm happy to have found a great solution with Debian Edu.
I'm testing it with the server on VMware and Alix3d3 thin client
(http://www.pcengines.ch/alix3d3.htm).
First I have tested Etch version and with Etch the thin client works properly.
Now I'm testing Lenny with a bad surprise: thin client doesn't boot.
The boot stops with the message "i8042.c Can't read CRT while
initializing i8042. Loading:pllease wait..."
I have found on internet that this is a problem related with USB and
that it's possible to solve it inserting the line "usb-handoff" on
Grub menu.lst (see
http://cjf.se/wiki/index.php/Linux:_solutions_to_errors#i8042.c:_Can.27t_read_CTR_while_initializing_i8042).
So I have added "usb-handoff" on
'/var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/pxelinux.cfg/default' without success.
I'm frustrated, since Alix3d3 is a good solution for thin client.
Thank you very much for the help.
