[syslinux] Could not find kernel image : vmlinuz

hello list,

I am trying to setup a PXE boot server. Below are the details of the server:
OS : Fedora Core 5 32-bit
DHCP : dhcp 4.1
TFTP : tftp-hpa-5.0
Number of NIC : 2
eth0 : IP : 192.168.100.17, Subnet : 255.255.255.0, Gateway : 192.168.100.1
eth1 : IP : 192.168.1.1, Subnet : 255.255.255.0, Gateway : 192.168.1.1

Client:
OS : None, fresh machine
Number of NIC : 2 Intel Gigabit


eth0 of server is connected to primary NIC of the client via a switch
which is on the network range 192.168.100.x. I tried booting the
client using this interface but it was very flaky, client boots very
rarely. googling the reason I found out that it has something to do
with the switch (Netgear) I am using.

Then i connected eth1 of server (unused) with a cross over cable to
the client's secondary NIC. I did changed the boot order and DHCP
worked fine. But TFTP server is never able to transfer vmlinuz to the
client.

Below is my dhcpd.conf file

/etc/dhcpd.conf

ddns-update-style interim;
ignore client-updates;

subnet 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
	range  dynamic-bootp 192.168.1.240 192.168.1.252;
	default-lease-time 3600;
	max-lease-time 4800;
	option routers 192.168.1.1;
	option domain-name-servers 192.168.100.13;
	option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
        option broadcast-address 192.168.1.255;
	allow booting;
	allow bootp;
	filename "pxelinux.0";
#	filename "/pxelinux.0";
}

host server20 {
	hardware ethernet 00:30:48:D3:D8:59;
	fixed-address 192.168.1.240;
	next-server 192.168.1.1;
}

TFTP conf:
/etc/xinetd.d/tftp

service tftp
{
	socket_type	= dgram
	protocol		= udp
	wait			= yes
	user			= root
	server		= /usr/sbin/in.tftpd
	server_args	= -s /tftpboot -v -v
	disable		= no
	per_source	= 11
	cps			= 100 2
	flags			= IPv4
}

Let me know if some other information is required.

I did tried having 	filename "pxelinux.0"; set to TFTP root filename
"/pxelinux.0"; but this also did not worked.

No.

It is the firmware on the client that load pxelinux,
that should load pxelinux version 3.82
