I feel stupid. I found the answer on Launchpad.net: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ltsp/+bug/127332 Oliver Grawert wrote on 2007-08-13: you need to make sure nbdroot="<serverip>:<portnumber>" or nbdport="<portnr>" is set in the pxe default config if you change the port so initramfs knows about it on boot ... I have to specify the port in the PXE config file so /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp-kiosk/i386/pxelinux.cfg/default looks like this: DEFAULT vmlinuz ro initrd=initrd.img quiet splash nbdport="2001" Sorry for wasting everyone's time, mailbox space, and resources, but hopefully this will help anyone else out there who is experiencing a similar problem. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
