Package:  ltsp-server
Version:  0.58debian2
Severity: important

When building a sid client (ltsp-build-client --dist sid), the client
finally build successfully, but it is unable to boot.  The client do
at the moment end up with a 2.6.12 kernel, and give an error when
booting using qemu.  I start qemu like this, making a dummy disk to
get qemu in sarge to start at all:

  createdisk /tmp/hda 16
  qemu -kernel /opt/ltsp/i386/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.12-1-386 \
    -initrd /opt/ltsp/i386/boot/initrd.img-2.6.12-1-386 \
    -user-net -hda /tmp/hda \
    -append "ip=dhcp root=/dev/nfs nfsroot=/opt/ltsp/i386/"

The client then loads the kernel, and hangs with this error message:

  [...]
  TCP: Hash tables configured (established 8192 bind 8192)
  RAMDISK: Couldn't find valid RAM disk image starting at 0.
  VFS: Cannot open root device "nfs" or unknown-block(0,255)
  Please append a correct "root=" boot option
  Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on
    unknown-block(0,255)

I'm not sure what is wrong, but suspect the kernel is without NFS
support because it failed to load the initrd file.
