pxelinux (or syslinux for this matter) - by default - does not boot the first 
specified kernel configuration, but tries to boot a kernel called "linux".
You can specify an alternate label by using the DEFAULT statement in your

See http://syslinux.zytor.com/wiki/index.php/SYSLINUX#DEFAULT_command
for details.
