Novara,
I forgot to ask - What distro are you running? Or more specifically, what version of
dhcpd are you running?
As for the tftp, are you sure that it is installed on the server?

1. Your range 190.168.90.7 192.168.90.9 conflicts with the assignment of 192.168.90.9
to ws001
So maybe dhcpd is getting confused or it has already assigned .9 to another system on
your network. Try assigning ws001 to 192.168.90.10 or whatever just as long as the ip
is not within the range of the shared-network.
If you are only hosting linux terminals with dhcpd then you don't need a range at all.
2. In ws001 you specify "option opton-128 e4:45:74:68;"
This should be "option option-128 e4:45:74:68:00:00;"
Just a few other thoughts for troubleshooting:
1. Can you ping the server from another computer through the hub that you are trying
to use?
If not, then you have a network problem somewhere between the server and the client -
check cables, connectors, etc
2. Can you get another system (windows,mac,linux, whatever) to obtain an ip address
from your dhcp server?
If you can not, then dhcp is still not properly configured. If you can then it is
configured properly and there are no network problems. You should then look for
problems on the workstation (network card, cableing, etc) or problems with the ws001
configuration in dhcpd.conf
hope this helps
