What doesn't work? We have a bunch of machines that boot diskless.
zebigbos:~> cat /proc/version Linux version 2.6.15 (erik@zebigbos) (gcc version 3.4.2) #1 SMP Tue Jan 17 11:02:22 CET 2006 zebigbos:~> df / Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on numerobis:/data/nfsroot/zebigbos 67G 49G 18G 74% / zebigbos:~>
As far as I can remember we haven't had any problems in this area for a long time.
This machine does have a slightly newer ethernet controller:
0000:02:07.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82546GB Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 03) 0000:02:07.1 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82546GB Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 03)
