Alberto- On Ubuntu: you should run: update-initramfs -u (instead of mkinitramfs in the chroot). Then, (also in the chroot) run /usr/lib/ltsp/update_kernels (to make the nbi image for etherboot clients). Then, exit the chroot and run: sudo ltsp-update-kernels (to get the new initrd copied to the tftpboot directory.
