Andy, the dhcpd.info file is written by the dhcp CLIENT that is running on the workstation, as part of the initrd.
You can grab the ltsp_initrd_kit and look in /linuxrc to see where that all begins. The lack of the dhcpcd-eth0.info file indicates that the dhcp reply probably wasn't received from the dhcp server. It could be that the network interface wasn't configured properly, once the NIC module was loaded. It would be interesting to run tcpdump and watch that indeed you see the dhcpd request/reply take place, where the workstation gets its IP address and the name of the kernel to download. (which is obviously happening). Then, the tftp of the kernel, then another dhcp request/reply should take place.
