I would like to suggest getting a newer version of tftp-hpa (RH7.2 ships
with an ancient version of tftp-hpa) and run it with the -vv options; that
should give some log information that might be useful.

including the firmware version.

What you're seeing is indicative that the PXE embedded TFTP stack works,
but not the one built into PXELINUX.
