First hunch sounds like a firewalling problem, or running old-style nbd (each export gets a port, launched from inetd), vs. new-style nbd (uses port 10809, exports are named)... ltsp has been using new-style nbd since ltsp 5.3.x, I think. > My current working premise is that this is an nbd error. > > So I want to see the nbd-client command line and configuration in the > client initramfs.

Look in /opt/ltsp/<arch>/usr/share/initramfs-tools/ for all the code used to build the initramfs. You might want to put "set -x" near the top of ../initramfs-tools/local-top/nbd and maybe a "read pause" in there somewhere, and a few "echo $FOO" in there to help with debugging. Then rebuild the initramfs: sudo ltsp-chroot update-initramfs -u Update your tftp dirs: sudo ltsp-update-kernels And try and boot it again. live well, vagrant ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sponsored by Intel(R) XDK Develop, test and display web and hybrid apps with a single code base.
