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.
