ubuntu 10.04: problems with thin clients hanging on boot

[Rippl, Steve]

Hi John,

We hit this in a big way when we first upgraded to 10.04.  The 2 things that
fixed it for us were disabling nbd_proxy in the images (make sure you
run update-initramfs within the chroot of the image, not on the server) and
then making sure we were gig end to end on all our connections.

Now they boot consistently...
Steve
