Some odd things I observed just now.
1. Since yesterday, I have been reseting the client box from Virtualbox VM
menu (Reset option). This always showed me com32 vesamenu.c32 message.
2. Some time ago, I decided I power off the client VM( Close->poweroff from
Menu). This time I saw the menu. It didn't show the background jpg though.
Anyways I chose the menu option for loading ISO. It returned me the same
menu options, while showing file not found messages at the bottom of the
screen.
3. I tried reset as in (1), again com32 -vesamenu.c32 message as stated
earlier.
4. Power off , power on . No menu this time. Shows the com32-vesamenu.c32
message as stated earlier.

No such issues with pxelinux.0 though.

I am now rebooting TFTP/DHCP server and see if that helps  to any level.
