I think that what you are seeing in the logs is the normal result of
tftp being spawned by xinetd each time the virtual pxe-client attempts
to download its files. You may need to increase the verbosity of your
logs (add '-v' to server_args in xinetd's tftp config) to find out what
it's trying to download and why it's not succeeding.
Trying from a hardware (non-virtual) PXE client may yield better
results.
