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.
