Oliver, still having the same problem under 10.04.1.  Tried installing
mknbi in chroot and then running update-initramfs, exiting chroot and
running ltsp-update-kernels.  This did not update nbi.img.  So I tried "
mknbi-linux --output=nbi.img-2.6.32-25-generic vmlinuz initrd.img" from
chroot /boot/.  This did update nbi.img.  Reupdated ltsp kernels.  Still
failed to boot.

You said that mknbi and mkelfimage cannot be installed at the same time.
But, if I try to uninstall mkelfimage, it also uninstalls ltsp-client.
When I try update-initramfs with mkelfimage uninstalled, it gives three
errors of "grep: /proc/modules: No such file or directory"

Can you please develop a step-by-step set of instructions for restoring
mknbi and getting a good nbi.img?  We're using some ancient PCs for our
thin clients at a secondary school in Tanzania.  No hard disks, can't
boot from USB, and no CDROMS, so it's impossible to get gPXE on them
without buying hardware, which isn't in the budget.

Thanks in advance!
Kirk
