Hi jean,

I had the same problem, and was because the loopback interface not coming up after thinclient boot
I solved it puting "ifconfig lo up" in the rc.local script inside the chroot.

I guess that the network script fails at some point because the read only filesystem.

Let me know if this work for you

Good luck And excuse my poor english.
