Folks;
We are still unable to install/update the new Dell 780's in Burton-conner. We
cannot get pass the DHCP scanning. It fail with the message no network boot
device available. All ports used tested network ready. Do we have a problem with the
server or PXE boot parms???
Cheers
+JOHN

In addition to this, a large number of machines are now showing "metapackages would be removed by update: openafs-modules-generic". This also requires no action.
Ubuntu released a new kernel for which Openafs packages have not yet been built. The auto builder will catch up later today.
We'll see what we can do about all the false positives.
