are you sure there is no other message ? i'd guess there should also be
a TFTP timeout message.

the path in the dhcp conf was right as it was, the tftp server
exposes /var/lib/tftpboot as / to the rest of the world,
so /ltsp/pxelinux.0 is what the client sees
from /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/pxelinux.0 via tftp.

most likely your tftp server isnt running or doesnt get run by inetd
(which is the the default) as it should.

look if there is a uncommented line for tftp in /etc/inetd.conf (grep
tftp /etc/inetd.conf), if this is the case, make sure your inetd runs
(ps ax|grep inet)
