If really search for that, why you do not try to use default configuration 
file, to see if you are not missing something.

How do you know the machine search for pxelinux.cfg/[MACADDRESS], if this 
happens then loading pxelinux.0 was success.

Are really named your MACConfig files with the proper MAC Addres with extra 
needed chars?

again try: pxelinux.cfg/default 
just try, I guess If you can see config errors then pxelinux.0 was already 
loaded.
