Re: [Ltsp-discuss] LTSP v3 boot fail: pivot_root: pivot_root: No such file or directory

John,

I think the problem is you are still trying to mount the old
/tftpboot/lts/ltsroot directory as your root filesystem.

That won't work.

As of LTSP 2.09, the root filesystem that should be mounted
is /opt/ltsp/i386

You'll need to fix the root-path in your dhcpd.conf file.
