Well no idea what happened here but I removed the old /lib/modules
directory and ran modules_install again and that ran through with none
of the above errors :-)

Now this is a weird one. I have changed the PXE config kernel command
line to include INITRD_DBG=6. This drops me to a shell before querying
the DHCP server. It seems that with LTSP 4.1, the /linuxrc script runs
DHCPCD instead of DHCLIENT. A com,ent says tha tthis fixes a problem
with W2K dhcp servers. We have W2K3 servers and I assume this is the
same problem. However, the ltsp_initrd_kit (from versions 3.0.15 back to
3.0.10) do not have dhcpcd or the modified /linuxrc script. I have not
tried even earlier versions of ltsp_initrd_kit.

So, what has happeend to dhcpcd? I'll take a look for it and manually
re-install it into the initrd bin directory and modify the linuxrc, but
it seems that something has gone amiss here. Surely if dhcpd fixed a
problem then it should be in the current versions of ltsp_initrd_kit?
