I'm not sure why you made the pxe related changes to your dhpcd.conf
file. Try going back to the defaults and let's start from there.



     # trick from Peter Rundle 
     if substring (option vendor-class-identifier, 0, 9) = "PXEClient"
     {
        filename      "/lts/pxe/pxelinux.bin";
          # NOTE: kernels are specified in
/tftpboot/lts/pxe/pxelinux.cfg/
     }
     else
     {
        filename    "/lts/vmlinuz-2.4.9-ltsp";
     }
