Hi all,

we use LTSP here to run our server landscape as diskless servers, mounting 
additional Data directories per NFS and with services installed in the chroot.

We are now already looking ahead into upgrading from lenny to squeeze (still 
having to use NFS since our NAS Filers do not speak NBD...).

We changed the /etc/apt/sources.list in the chroot to squeeze and upgraded - 
with no problems.

Booting the squeeze version gives the following error:
...
Begin: Running /scripts/nfs-premount ...
nfsmount: need a path
done.
...
and then it retries several times till it stops at the busybox command prompt 
from the initramfs.

Looking at /tmp/net-eth0.conf we can see that the variable ROOTPATH is not set. 
But when executing "ipconfig eth0" the ROOTPATH variable is passed on from the 
DHCP server and even updated in /tmp/net-eth0.conf .

1) Where does the initial /tmp/net-eth0.conf get set? 
2) And why does it work with the ipconfig from the initramfs - what is used 
before?

Thanks
Rainer
