    I can be found either 40 miles west of Chicago, or in a galaxy far, far away.

    What is the setting of the "disable" flag in /etc/xinetd.d/tftp? It needs to be set to "disable = no". Then you need to restart the xinetd service.
    Sometimes, real fast is almost as good as real time.

    Have you restarted the xinetd service? Or rebooted? You need to do that before the tftp service will be enabled.

    So, what happens when you try to connect to the server via an FTP client?

    When you run an ftp client and try to connect to the server, you should either connect, or get an error message. What is it? How are you trying to connect to the ftpd server?

    I made a PXE boot server to boot client machines. But nowhere I found tftp is running.

    Have you tried connecting manually to verify that it isn't working? If the server is started by xinetd and then aborts because of an error, it will only be up for a very short while, so you might not see it. You might find out something in the log files.
