After the client connects the nbd image from the server, it run a "blkid -s TYPR -o value /dev/nbd0" and this command simply hangs. No timeout, no failure. I'll try with a different network card (this is a SiS190) because all other clients models boot perfectly. I'll tell if it works. Thanks!

And I have a boot problem. I'm running Edubuntu 12.04LTS. Many others Thin Clients boot fine but this model is driving me crazy. The thin client stops at "Begin: Mounting file system...Begin: Runing /scripts/local-top...Begin: setting up nbd-client...Negotiation:..size=280MB...bs=1024..sz=2293883904". If I understand this is where the temporary root file system swap to the ndb root file system. Question is, should I change the nbd-client parameters? But where? I really need help because it's just 10 days that I'm playing with ltsp. Thanks!
