Our installation also uses SuSE server, LTSP-3.0, and VIA-ITX-based clients.
I used the etherboot approach for booting with PXE, where PXE -> etherboot -> load kernel (DHCP, TFTP, etc.). To get this working I did not use the pxestuff package. >From www.rom-o-matic.org I downloaded version 5.0.7 (production, latest), driver VIA-rhine for the integrated VIA VT6103 EthernetPHY NIC in the VIA boards. ROM output format: PXE-loadable ROM image. This approach allows you to use the LTSP kernel as-is. This approach has been documented previously on this list by Conrad Lawes under the subject "PXEstuff vs PXEetherboot". Hope this helps.
