Are you using a TFTP server that supports TSIZE ?? This assumes you're using pxelinux from H. Peter Anvin's syslinux project.
Stock debian TFTP server doesn't support TSIZE (sarge anyway). Grab tftp-hpa from http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/network/tftp and build and install it -- in my situation I needed to modify /etc/inetd.conf so tftpd would get run as root instead of nobody -- no worries as tftp-hpa takes care of ditching root capabilities when appropriate but it initially needs to run as root when forked from inetd. You can confirm you have TSIZE issues by looking at /var/log/daemon.log and you'll see tftpd complaining about not supporting TSIZE when pxe tries to grab the kernel.
