Not sure if you sorted this out Roger, but I just ran into it myself. I bet you've got the rpmforge repository enabled, right? Apparently there's a change in way the latest versions of syslinux (3.50, 3.51 - which are on rpmforge, not in base) query for images. I haven't yet figured out how to fix it, but if you revert to syslinux 3.35 or earlier it will magically start working again. I've seen the problem with both vanilla tftp-server and dnsmasq's tftp.
