Hmm, I've had similiar problems before and the problem ended up being
the PXE boot rom and the Ethernet card that I was using. Which isn't
really applicable to your scenario of it working wit the stock kernel
but not the custom LTSP kernel you built...
I also recall there being a difference between thin clients and diskless
workstations and that did affect how you configure things and how the
PXE boot process works. I think...
