update manager refuses to upgrade kernel to newer version

hi,

so we are now sure your apt update worked fine and your -77 kernel is
installed properly in the NFS root, good ...

right, somewhere your PXE setup is still wrong, so lets get this fixed
;)

well, i personally always only use a global pxelinux.cfg/default
because i dont need any client specific settings, but yes, whatever
config file you have to ship the kernel info is fine ... 

> LABEL default
>         KERNEL ubu1204x86diskless_boot/vmlinuz
        APPEND vga=normal initrd=ubu1204x86diskless_boot/initrd.img 

so it pulls /var/tftpboot/ubu1204x86diskless/vmlinuz and 
 /var/tftpboot/ubu1204x86diskless/initrd.img ....

i assume these files are symlinks ... can you check them with "ls -l" ?
(i guess they either point to the wrong binaries (i.e. boot/*-46
-generic) or they are no symlinks but copies of of the *-46-generic
binaries ) 

ciao
