LTSP falling back to initramfs

[David Van Assche]

Hi Wolfgang,
   First thing to do is check that there are no other dhcp servers on your
ltsp network interfering with the startup process (ie. router on same
subnet.) Then you can disable the 'fancy orange moving' screen by taking out
splash and taking out quiet from
/var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/pxelinux.cfg/default

That should give you  some more debug info to go on...

Good Luck,
David
