Thank you for information. Unfortunately I am unable to do this. I am unable to make any changes to the DHCP infrastructure; this includes adding a DHCP server even if it is not listen on the standard port. I have modified the config file from ltsp_initrd_kit to include what I think is the absolute minimum for a ltsp client kernel. I will add only the options that are set to the end of this message. If an option is not listed below it was commented out in the .config file I used and deleted for this posting. I compiled the new kernel and it boots, but it does a kernel panic VFS unable to mount root fs on 01:00
The new kernel is about 950K. I am trying to figure what I need to do to get the kernel to boot without an initrd. I am using the 2.4.25 kernel. Do I need to apply the forcedeth, nfs-swap, and supermount patches in the ltsp_initrd_kit?

You could use the ALTERNATE DHCP PORT option, or whatever it's called. It makes etherboot query a dhcp server running on port 1069 instead of 69. Recent LTSP3 (and I think LTSP 4 too) have an option like that so that dhclient of the initial ramdisk will use those alternate ports too.
