Edubunty 6.10 - "can't access tty" on client-side...

Hello everyone.  I've been lurking through the archives and
on the
Ubuntu forum for several days regarding a problem I'm having
with the
clients connecting to the thin terminal server.  I did some
research
last night on the LTSP site, specifically here which I'm
going to try
this morning:

http://wiki.ltsp.org/twiki/bin/view/Ltsp
/TroubleShooting#Mounting_the_ro
ot_filesystem_via

Basically, when I boot up a thin client via PXE, it
successfully
receives the DHCP address from the server.  It looks like
it's going to
connect and the Edubuntu splash screen pops up.  Then, I
receive the
"/bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned of"
with a very limited
command prompt.

Just curious to find out if there are additional steps I
need to follow
on the "getting started" page on the Edubuntu
site.

Thx much, in advance, with any info anyone might provide.

Regards,
Kory

Hi

I got the same problem when there's lot of traffic on the
network

When no data is transfered on the network and I try to boot
up the thin 
client it works fine

for me it means that during this part of the boot sequence
there's a lot 
of traffic between the server and the client(i didn't verify
it)

hope it can help

ps : sorry for my poor English, I'm French...

I don't know if it's the problem I encountered on Edubuntu
Dapper :
sometimes everything seems to get fine but there's no login
screen.

I passed through by typing "alt-F7" to get the
graphical display back.

J'ai rencontré un problème ressemblant sur une Edubuntu
Dapper : tout
semblait bien se passer au boot mais l'écran de connexion
n'apparaissait
pas. En tapant "alt-F7" je retrouvais l'écran de
connexion graphique.
