I didn´t upgrade, I wanted a complete new installation on my server. So I worked with two test clients at home and noticed a strange behaviour. The server worked very very slowly at some times, there was no chance to work as admin on the server. It was during boot process of the clients. But I didn´t want to notice it ....... But now at school (9 clients) the freezing process has the result, that only two clients reached the status of ldm screen. The others had no contact to the dhcp3-server .... So I tried at home stopping and starting the dhcp3- server (3-seconds-period) with sudo /etc/init.d/dhcp3-server restart during boot process of one client Gutsy no problem: You can start and stop dhcpd after few seconds. No freezing! Hardy First no problem. But during boot you are able to freeze the dhcpd. I tried this with a second server. The same bug! Perhaps there are more users who suffer from the problem.
