So, You changed the DHCP port to 1067.
that is what is causing your problem.
When booting an LTSP kernel, there are 2 different DHCP queries.
I'm guessing you told Etherboot to use port 1067, and you told your
dhcpd to use 1067, but you didn't tell the dhclient to use port 1067.
So, it's still trying port 67, and not getting any results.
Luckily, it's easy to fix.
You just need to add 2 lines to your dhcpd.conf file.
option option-128 e4:45:74:68:00:00;
option option-129 "DPORT=1067";
Put those 2 lines after the "log-servers" line.
Notice the value for option-128. that is an 'Etherboot Signature'.
It's NOT a mac address. Don't change it.
By adding the above lines, Etherboot will get the value of option-129,
and pass it along to the kernel, on the kernel command line. The
/linuxrc script will see the value of DPORT, and use it, when it calls
dhclient.
