Some clients not booting (that used to boot in Hardy)

[Krsnendu dasa]

It works fine with P4 clients with 256MB RAM. These clients (Compaq Deskpro
SFF PII 400 with 128MB RAM) don't work. It was also working fine previously
with Hardy.

As I have upgraded from Hardy, there is an old lts.conf file that I will
rename. Maybe there is a setting there that is causing the problem, (like
nbd swap). I will let you know how I go when I try it at school tomorrow.

Have the options in lts.conf changed since Hardy? If so where can I see what
the choices are?
