Sounds like your computer doesn't have a PCI bus. Maybe an old 486 with ISA or VLbus. The initrd isn't setup to handle non-pci bus systems. You could hack the linuxrc script in the initrd, by downloading the ltsp_initrd_kit. BUT, if you don't have a PCI bus, then you probably don't have a graphics chipset that is capable of running X. When people ask me what do I consider the bare minimum hardware for an LTSP client, my answer is typically, "Anything with a PCI bus and 8mb of ram".
