Take a look in /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/ and see if you can find the

configuration. Next, compare that with what you see in the system
BIOS to ensure that it actually matches up.
It sounds like it's not matching up to me.
I assume I don't have to assign a fixed IP to every host on the
PXE-network via dhcpd.conf?
The TFTP/PXE stage that identifies your system by MAC address does
not rely on having a static MAC set.
The order is encoded MAC, then encoded IP, then default. Except if
you are using IA64 arches (elilo), when you must have the IP -- it
doesn't do boot-by-MAC.
You can add a -vv in your /etc/xinetd.d/tftp file to see a bit more
from TFTP in syslog.
Hopefully that helps. It really sounds like the MAC addresses
aren't right to me, maybe a typo somewhere?
In the above /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg directory, there's only one file
- "default", which produces said menu.
Is there anything else that has to be run in addition to "cobbler sync"?
I'm feeling I'm missing something, but I don't know what.
Thanks for your help so far.
cheers,
Rainer
