Please test without ipappend and use ip=dhcp as a kernel parameter instead. Don´t forget to enable dhcp autoconfiguration in the kernel config ...
I bet that you will see that the same dhcp server that proved to work correctly by providing your server ip etc to the pxe bootrom and via ipappend to the kernel is unable to give that same information to the linux ipconfig code directly. Please try and report.
I assume that you do not have any problem to pxeboot good old DOS and memtest. Right?
Please give board name, bios version, pxe rom version, and lspci -vv.
