[Bug 813837] Re: ltsp client not able to load boot file: ltsp/amd64.tmp/pxelinux.0

[Stéphane Graber]

Marking lucid as Won't fix as the bug is in a udeb and if we don't fix
it in for the milestone, there's no point in fixing it at all.

The rational for not fixing in 10.04.4 is the high risk of regression
that comes with touching that script, for fixing a bug that only appears
so rarely that as far as I know, Patrick Wright (Canonical QA) is the
only one to reproduce it occasionally on loaded test machines.

I hope to have this script redesigned in 12.04 to be race free.

  ltsp client not able to load boot file: ltsp/amd64.tmp/pxelinux.0

Bug description:
  Running lucid-alternate-amd64.iso (10.04.03)

  Both the LTSP server and thin client (pxe boot) are able to obtain an
  IP address from the internal dhcp server.

  The thin client starts to connect and fails with an error unable to
  locate the filename: ltsp/amd64.tmp/pxelinux.0

  WORKAROUND:
  In /etc/ltsp/dhcpd.conf
  Change the line
      filename "/ltsp/amd64.tmp/pxelinux.0";
  To
      filename "/ltsp/amd64/pxelinux.0";
