Hi,

the problem is not the /home folders, that works fine. The /etc/exports 
I have shown is on the new server, the clients can't mount the /opt/ltsp 
and can't boot at all, anymore.

If you want to export /home from your old server, you will need to set it up and make sure the new server is mounting it. To me it looks like you aren't even exporting /home. If you want to authenticate from the old server as well (so you won't have to add all your users to the new system again, you need to have it using NIS or LDAP or samba, and set the new server to authenticate users from there, assuming they aren't local (to the server) users (like root).
