Re: [Ltsp-discuss] Upgrading LTSP from Karmic to Lucid

[Joseph T. <to...@li...>]

I was working on a clean Ubuntu 10.4 LTSP install today and noticed that
same thing with the root of the tftp server. I soft linked the
/var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp directory to /srv/tftp/ltsp and built a new client
image.
I get to the beginning of the Ubuntu splash page but I don't get any
movement on the progress bar, then it dumps me into an initramfs prompt.
Is there any logging going on during this process?  The only package I
installed was ltsp-server-standalone (as specified in some documentation
on the Ubuntu help wiki) so I assume that that's a meta-package that
installs the tftpd daemon and the left hand didn't tell the right hand
that the root of the TFTP server was being moved.
