  The good people at IRC #ltsp helped me solve the problem

  here's what I did to get PXE boot to work with the marvell/sky2 driver

     1. sudo nano /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/initramfs-tools/modules and add "sky2"
     2. sudo nano /opt/ltsp/i386/usr/share/initramfs-tools/hook-functions and
        add "sky2" at the end of this line:

            r8169 s2io sis900 skge slhc smc911x starfire sky2 \

     3. sudo chroot /opt/ltsp/i386 update-initramfs -u
     4. sudo ltsp-update-kernels
     5. and problem solved!
