A couple of things to try:

1. Specify the colour depth in your lts.conf to be 24, or failing that 16.
	/var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/lts.conf
eg

[00:11:25:93:CF:00]
    X_COLOR_DEPTH = 16

2. If the above doesn't fix, try making your boot verbose.  Edit
/var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/pxelinux.cfg/default and remove the words
splash and quiet.  Reboot and see do you get a more telling error.
