What is the message in the client?
client is only saying searching for dhcp server

Does log contains granting IP address to this client?
If granted and not caught by client check for next-server entry.
Is dhcp running?
check using
on the server
netstat -an|grep ":67"
problem solved. when I ran ltspadmin, I did not notice that it does
not create a dhcpd.conf file - it creates a sample file which has to
be merged into dhcpd.conf. Once that was done, the client could not
find the vmlinuz file. The file was in the /tftpboot/lts/ directory -
and the dhcpd.conf file had the filename = "/lts/vmlinuz.whatever".
When I removed the leading '/', everything worked. So for ltsp in
Mandriva 2008.1 the steps are:
1. download and install ltsp-utils
2. run ltspadmin, install all components
3. configure the components with ltspadmin
4. merge the dhcpd.conf.sample into dhcpd.conf
5. enjoy
actual work is about 10 minutes + time taken to download the files
