Problem PXE booting

In relation to dist-upgrade of diskless ubuntu.

I have upgraded my diskless image to 12.04. I've updated the the default file in my tftpboot server, but whenever i boot the server, it comes with the error message "Could not find kernel image: precise/vmlinuz

I did try to cp the files into the /var/lib/tftboot/precise/ folder, and got it booting, but would really like for the symlinks to work. What am i doing wrong?

/var/lib/tftpboot/precise/default:

LABEL precise

KERNEL precise/vmlinuz

APPEND root=/dev/nfs initrd=precise/initrd.img ip=dhcp >nfsroot=192.168.2.3:/q/system/precise ro pci=noacpi ipv6.disable=1 panic=10

symlink is made with the following command:
sudo ln -s /q/system/precise/vmlinuz

Same is done for initrd.img

EDIT:
The problem was resolved after creating a new debootstrap image to boot from.

I understand from a comment in another question that you had a file permission error that prevented reading the files. You're now having issues with your nfs mount.

Can you please update this question regarding the permissions and your new NFS problem. I'll need the contents of the relevant pxelinux.cfg file, /etc/exports and the output of showmount -e.
