Hi Igor,

May I suggest, for these tests, not to re-build each pre-release? 
Instead, if at all possible, just use the official binaries already 
included in the downloaded file.

Regarding your /srv/tftp/pxelinux.cfg/default content, have you 
pasted all of it in your previous email?

Note that you used "DEFAULT menu", but there is no "menu" label. 
Perhaps your intention was "DEFAULT menu.c32"?

Regards,
Ady.
