failure to mount root by thin client

Hello,

I have successfully loaded Edubuntu onto my laptop (a temporary measure) and attached one thin client (amd duron 300mb ram). I have a belkin 4 port router.

Initially i had no response from the client but after booting with

 

MULTI-DRIVER REMOTE BOOT PXE/NBI FLOPPY/CD/HD/COM

 

i got the client to start loading and the ubuntu loading screen appeared.  I was very excited at this point.

 

After loading essiential drivers the client stops on mounting root system.

 

I have seen a number of questions similar on the internet but no solutions.

I would happily recieve any help.

Being new to linux please assume i know nothing!

 

Thanks

Stephen
