I understand that "pxelinux.0" lives in /boot/fai.



This is my /tftboot layout
tardis tftpboot # ls -R
.:
lts  pxe  pxelinux.cfg

./lts:
bzImage-2.6.17.8-ltsp-1  vmlinuz-2.6.17.8-ltsp-1

./pxe:
bzImage-2.6.17.8-ltsp-1    eb-5.0.9-eepro100.lzpxe  initramfs.gz
eb-5.0.9-3c905c-tpo.lzpxe  eb-5.0.9-rtl8139.lzpxe   pxelinux.0

./pxelinux.cfg:
default


My in.tftpd

# /etc/init.d/in.tftpd

# Path to server files from
# Depending on your application you may have to change this.
# This is commented out to force you to look at the file!
#INTFTPD_PATH="/var/tftp/"
INTFTPD_PATH="/tftpboot"
#INTFTPD_PATH="/tftproot/"

# For more options, see in.tftpd(8)
# -R 4096:32767 solves problems with ARC firmware, and obsoletes
# the /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_local_port_range hack.
# -s causes $INTFTPD_PATH to be the root of the TFTP tree.
# -l is passed by the init script in addition to these options.
INTFTPD_OPTS="-R 4096:32767 -s ${INTFTPD_PATH}"

I read that the -s option means secure and that the /tftboot
is understood to be preceding the /pxe below?

filename                                "/pxe/pxelinux.0";

When I specified the above in dhcpd.conf the client booted till it could 
not find the kernel, which would be the vmlinuz file below.


When filename was setup as

filename                               "/lts/vmlinuz-2.6.17.8-ltsp-1";

The client tried appeared to pull the file. I received a NBP is too 
large error. That would seem to be that the file is transferred.
My next server is by IP.

Thanks Paul. Just trying to make sure all that you are writing.
