Hi!

We run some diskless servers at work.
NFSRoot, pxelinux-netboot. kernel 2.6. eepro100 / eepro1000 NICs. 1GB Ram.
Most of the time its great. 1 setup for all nodes. But sometimes we get a 
fallout. If we connect a screen to the box we have just a black screen.
The syslog on our sylogserver doesn't tell something usefull.

Has somebody made experiences like that? Any solution out there?
I have spent multiple hours searching the web. Nothing found till now.

One "solution" i install next week will be a usb-power outlet. pinging 
these nodes and on failout power off / power on to bring them back. I 
would prefer a real solution but what shall i do?

so long...
