Do you have the menu.c32 in the same folder as pxelinux.o?
You also need something like this in the default file.

DEFAULT menu.c32
PROMPT 0
TIMEOUT 100
NOESCAPE 1

label unattended
     MENU LABEL Unattended
     MENU PASSWD bla
     kernel uakernel
     append acpi=off initrd=uaroot kbd=de-latin1 z_user=xxx z_pass=xxx
