Alex, No need to tag the kernel again. Just use the standard ltsp kernel and change your root-path statement in the /etc/dhcpd.conf file to point to the new directory.
If you really want to build your own kernel, then make sure you enable devfs in your kernel config, so that you don't get that 'Unable to open an initial console' error. If building your own kernel, you should also have the ltsp_initrd_kit, and use the buildk script to set it all up for you.
