Package: ltsp-server
Version: 5.1.10-2
Severity: normal

--- Please enter the report below this line. ---

1. Xen dom0 running on lenny amd64 with 12 vlan interfaces
2. domU running lenny amd64 with 12 network interfaces, bridged on those
vlans, running dhcp server on almost all networks
3. On the same domU where dhcp is running I installed
ltsp-server-standalone
4. My dhcpd.conf for the network where the ltsp-clients are running is:

subnet 10.1.20.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
        authoritative;
        range                           10.1.20.11 10.1.20.254;
        use-host-decl-names             on;
        option routers                  10.1.20.1;
        option domain-name-servers      10.1.20.57, 10.1.20.58;
        option domain-name              "domain.com";
        option netbios-name-servers     10.1.20.47, 10.1.20.24;
        next-server                     10.1.20.2;
        option root-path                "10.1.20.2:/opt/ltsp/i386";
        if substring (option vendor-class-identifier, 0, 9) =
"PXEClient" {
                filename "/ltsp/i386/pxelinux.0";
        } else {
                filename "/ltsp/i386/nbi.img";
        }

host ws0020 {
    hardware ethernet    00:50:04:E3:A9:D5;
    fixed-address        10.1.20.6;
    filename             "ltsp/i386/nbi.img";
}

5. I ran ltsp-build-client with the following sintaxe: 

ltsp-build-client --arch i386

I followed the steps on http://wiki.debian.org/LTSP/Howto but didn't
found /etc/lts.conf and /etc/default/ltsp-client-setup on the system
nether the docs at /usr/share/doc/ltsp-client*. Am I suposed to install
any other packages like ltsp-client? I don't believe so as the
disclaimer at the package description tells me not to do so.

My dhcp is running fine and tftp server either.

I boot my client and it gets the IP address, loads de image and right
after that starts a loop message "NFS over TCP not available from
10.1.20.2" until it stops giving me 3 mount error messages when trying
to mount /dev, /sys, /proc and at last "No init found. Try passing init=
bootarg."

Looking at ltsp_nbd I found declarations to /scripts/nfs-top but it is not in /scripts/.
I believe this a severe bug or the tutorials are not complete about the packages that are
needed for this installation to work.
