Hi
I have been following UbuntuLTSP/RaspBerryPi guide
(https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/RaspberryPi) successfully
since 15.04 but in 16.04 it appears to fail and I am left with a blank /
frozen screen at bootup on the RaspBerry. I have the same result
whether I use Xubuntu or Ubuntu Mate, which as I mentioned worked
previously (I also got Lubuntu and Edubuntu to work previously).
While monitoring the setup process during the stage "Build A Thin
Chroot" (executing the command ltsp-build-client --arch armhf --config
/etc/ltsp/ltsp-build-client-raspi2.conf), I got the following warning:
update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-4.4.0-1017-raspi2
warning: root device does not exist
unable to abort; system will probably be broken!
I have not seen any other obvious errors and I am able to complete the
remaining steps of the guide, but the RaspBerry fails to boot. However I
have found that if I replace the current vmlinuz and initrd.img created
from this process, with copies created from a previous working version
of Ubuntu following this guide, the RaspBerry boots fine and I am able
to access the login screen of the Xubuntu Host (one caveat is that I
must comment out the line KERNEL_DEVICE=/dev/mmcblk0p1 in the LTS.conf
file to stop these older files being replaced on the SD with the current
copies).
A quick search on Google reveals at least one other user has had a
similar warning and is currently looking for a fix which leads me to
believe it is not a problem confined to my particular setup so please
can anyone help?

Russell
