Robert,
Here's a few things to check.
I am trying to set up a new LTSP server on a Debian Etch computer.
The clients work fine with an existing old Mandrake LTSP server.
I have followed instructions at
http://wiki.ltsp.org/twiki/bin/view/Ltsp/Debian
but when trying to boot the client just sits on loading the vmlinuz file
Here is the dhcp.conf.....
##########
#
# dynamic-dhcpd.conf version of /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf
# *** Rename to dhcpd.conf before using ***
Are you sure this is the copy of dhcpd.conf that is being used by
dhcpd on your system? If you're editing the wrong file, then it
doesn't matter how much you change it, it will never work.
Also, you may have to restart dhcpd for changes to take effect.

Should this be "/lts/2.6.16.1-ltsp-2/pxelinux.0"?
Does pxelinux.cfg list the correct kernel?
}
else
{
filename "/tftpboot/lts/vmlinuz-2.6.17.8-ltsp-1"; #<--Check version
And this one should be "/lts/vmlinuz-2.6.17.8-ltsp-1"
}
}

Does /tftpboot/lts/vmlinuz-2.6.17.8-ltsp-1 exist?
option root-path "192.168.1.11:/opt/ltsp/i386";
}
Are your clients using PXE or some other sort of network booting?
