I haven't done it since kernel 2.2 days so my knowledge is old and rusty, like me.

LOL! .. :)

Have you looked on any of the distros set up for this like k12LTSP? Maybe they have a more current set of docs.

well, I found the issue - this was a problem in the 2.6.18 kernel; and a fix has been incorprated since 2.6.22 or so ... we decided to use 2.6.18 - which is the base for "Fedora 6" (we'll be supporting - so called - golden releases per selected distro, if you will) ..

i guess for future reference, the fix can be found here:

That explains why something that has worked "forever" suddenly stopped.
