Hi Ernesto,

I don't have access to the test environment right now. However, I do
remember following this sequence all the time. Was not mounting sys
religiously though.

Once more thing - It is booting fine for me using nfs instead of nbd.
With nbd it just doesn't boot. Since you are using ltsp-update-image,
you are obviously getting success with nbd.

I had to "downgrade" to nfs as per
http://www.nabble.com/random-clients-stall-out-at-Error:-Ioctl-1.1a-failed:-Bad-file-descriptor-td20858391.html

But with nfs also there is still the issue of gdm not starting even with
the startgdm.sh script.

A blue screen of horror ;-) pops up stating that there is something
wrong with gdm and the /var/log/gdm/:0.log says this -

# more /var/log/gdm/:0.log
md5sum: /etc/X11/xorg.conf: No such file or directory
10784 10758
xinit /etc/gdm/failsafeXinit /etc/X11/xorg.conf.failsafe with-gdm --
/usr/bin/X :0 -auth /var/lib/gdm/:0.Xauth -nolisten tcp vt9 -br -once
-config /etc/X11/xorg.conf.fails
afe -logfile /var/log/Xorg.failsafe.log
_XSERVTransSocketUNIXCreateListener: ...SocketCreateListener() failed
_XSERVTransMakeAllCOTSServerListeners: server already running

Fatal server error:
Cannot establish any listening sockets - Make sure an X server isn't
already running
xinit:  Server error.
10784 10758

Once thing I noticed - There was a difference in uid of gdm in the base
system and the chroot. At first instance the system was complaining of
/var/lib/gdm not belonging to uid 107 (gdm) or gid 117 (gdm) but after
a  reboot the blue whiptail screen appears.

For gdm, I decided to remove and install gdm and have kick-started the
process before leaving the test env and shall post the results tomorrow
both for nfs and nbd.

Regards,
SB
