maybe a tail -f /var/log/gmessages and see if anything pops up when you reboot the tftp device.

or

do a tcpdump for port 69 and see if the device is even hitting the box.

Hi,

I had this same problem, and it turned out that my netmask was set wrong.

For the dhcpd.conf, I had a netmask of:

255.255.0.0

And for the network adapter serving my DHCP (in my case /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-enp5s0f1), I had a netmask of:

255.255.255.0

So the DHCP server was issuing an address outside of the range that my network adapter was willing to talk to. I just changed the network adapter netmask to match the DHCP server netmask, and it worked.
