Richard,

All my clients are 64bit, I take your point though I should just use 
the 32bit version it's not like I'm going to put over 64GB Memory in my 
server.

I found the problem was a bug in ltsp-update-image which doesn't copy 
my boot files over as they are in a different partition. I did a dirty 
hack just to prove that this was the problem

I first mounted my root partition which is in the LVM
: mount /dev/mapper/xubuntu--vg-root /mnt

Copied over my boot files to that drive and unmounted it
: cp /boot/* /mnt/boot
: umount /mnt

Update the image
: ltsp-update-image -c /

Now my thin clients boot. I'll file a bug for this.

Michael
