Hello Valerio,
I have encountered the exact same problems while doing the 
LtspDisklessWorkstation thing, while following the instructions on the Wiki 
very closely. I didn't manage to solve the issue with the thin-clients so it 
would be interesting to try Sebastiaan's hint.
THANK YOU SEBBASTIAAN.

I assume you are, as I was, more interested in getting the DWs to work, and get 
the TCs sorted on another thread. Unfortunately, I don’t have the machine in 
front of me, just moved it on site Tuesday, I'll try to describe what I did 
from memory so take care.
My best shot is at the 'next server' line in /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf, DHCP cites 
this line to the pixie telling it where to get the next step for the boot 
process, in my system, a combi-server it is:
   next-server tjener;
Make sure it points to the right server on your system, try using ip address 
instead of name.
If that is correct then the 'filename' line has the same effect and should be 
as said:
   filename "/var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/pxelinux.0";
Make sure this file exists indeed.
The 'root-path' line is NFS related and shouldn't have effect at this stage, 
but I remember adding the host-name there:
   option root-path  "tjener:/opt/ltsp/i386";
Or something of that sort.

If that doesn't solve the problem make sure you completed the instructions on 
sections 5,6 at the Wiki page and look at the example files.

        a) Of what I remember the file /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/lts.conf was missing 
on my system so I did 'locate lts.conf' and copied it from somewhere on the 
file system.
        b) At the file /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/pxelinux.cfg/default make 
sure there's NO newline only spaces: DEFAULT vmlinuz ro 
initrd=initrd.imgroot=/dev/nfs ip=dhcp nfsroot=/opt/ltsp/i386
Try renaming this file to 01-08-00-27-04-49-0b just to see if the pixie got 
that far, my guess is it is looking in the wrong location.

At the moment I'm installing again so I'll soon have the possibility to 
reproduce the process, if you're patient.

Odd.
