[Gllug] root over nfs

I've been playing with root over nfs

I have it working from one client to a RH 7.1 server

but when I try to connect from the same client (same kernel loaded from 
floppy)

to a server running RH 7.3 - with pretty much the same setup re nfs /etc and 
so on 

the boot process ends at the 'freeing unused memory' line

the server reports nfs mount suceeded - and I can mount the exported filesytem 
and access it correctly (I hate boot troubles - no logs and precios little by 
way of debugging arsenal)

I found this...

http://www.ltsp.org/documentation/lts_ig_v2.4/lts_ig_v2.4-15.html
Workstation stops at 'Freeing unused kernel memory 44k' 

This is caused by problems with the Glibc that ships with Redhat 7.0. You need 
to upgrade to at least Glibc 2.2-5. It's available on Redhat's ftp site. Make 
sure you install the i386 version. Once you have upgraded glibc, you will 
need to re-install LTSP so that it picks up the correct libs. 

... anyone know if this glibc problem has been reintroduced !

any help much appreciated
