Asked by Rafael Ugalde

i have updated ltsp-server to version 5.2.1-0ubuntu1 today
 and the client don't boot

 made:

# ltsp-update-image --arch i386 --server 10.228.45.137

 and return without create image to boot

 these file /opt/ltsp/i386/usr/share/initramfs-tools/conf.d/ltsp
 has this contents

 # Required to get a splash on Lucid

MODULES="netboot"
BOOT="ltsp_nbd"
COMPCACHE_SIZE="25%"

I have the same problem: It seems that the ltsp-client-core version 5.2.1-0ubuntu1 changes the file ${CHROOT}/${CONFFILE} (which would by default be /opt/ltsp/${ARCH}/usr/share/initramfs-tools/conf.d/ltsp) so that it does not contain the line

BOOT="ltsp_nbd"

which means that the "grep nbd ${CHROOT}/${CONFFILE}" in the ltsp-update-image script fails and so the image is not built.

Downgrading ltsp-client and ltsp-client-core (to 5.1.90-0ubuntu3) doesn't work: the client won't boot --- as Rafael says, it stops at the '(initramfs)' because it "gave up waiting for root device". Any suggestions? Should this be filed as a bug?
