Thanks for testing LTSP on Debian!

I've been working on some of these very issues this last week...

I would recommend running the "ltsp-config nbd-server" step after
running "ltsp-update-image --cleanup /", otherwise it won't see and
/opt/ltsp/images/*.img and so won't create the corresponding nbd-server
configurations.

You've hit a bug in mount/util-linux:

  https://bugs.debian.org/756990

To work around the issue "modprobe loop" and/or add loop to /etc/modules
and reboot.

But then you'll run into the issues caused by newer versions of
syslinux/pxelinux:

  http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ltsp-upstream/ltsp/ltsp-trunk/revision/2569
  http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ltsp-upstream/ltsp/ltsp-trunk/revision/2570

You could apply them manually to /usr/share/ltsp/update-kernels.


I hope to have an upload of ltsp 5.5.2 into Debian unstable later
today which should address the issues with pxelinux/syslinux, and
hopefully the loop device issue will get resolved soon as well!
