My mistake :(
I was using pxelinux.0 instead of lpxelinux.0
Is now working fine.

For reference, this is my lua script:

-------------------------------------------------------------------
syslinux = require ("syslinux")
dmi = require ("dmi")

--get nice output
printf = function(s,...)
 return io.write(s:format(...))
end -- function

printf ("Getting SN from SMBIOS...\n")
dmi_table = dmi.gettable()
printf ("SN: %s\n", dmi_table.system.serial)

printf ("Loading kernel...\n")
kernel =
syslinux.loadfile("http://192.168.10.10/boot.php?type=kernel&NS="..dmi_table.system.serial
(
'http://192.168.10.10/boot.php?type=kernel&NS="..dmi_table.system.serial')
)
printf("Ok. Kernel file size %d\n", syslinux.filesize(kernel))

printf ("Loading initrd...\n")
initrdPath =
"http://192.168.10.10/boot.php?type=initrd&NS="..dmi_table.system.serial
(
'http://192.168.10.10/boot.php?type=initrd&NS="..dmi_table.system.serial')

initrd = syslinux.loadfile(initrdPath)
printf("Ok. Initrd file size %d\n", syslinux.filesize(initrd))

printf ("Booting...\n")
initramfs = syslinux.initramfs_init()
syslinux.initramfs_load_archive(initramfs, initrdPath)
syslinux.boot_it(kernel, initramfs, "boot=live config union=overlayfs
noswap edd=on nomodeset keyboard-model=abnt2 keyboard-layouts=br

Thank you and my best regards to all!
