It actually gets the IP, as there's a DHCPACK in the log.
If the client is refusing the address or the options for some reason,
then it's possible that it's a minor misconfiguration in the DHCP
server.
The dhcp server appears to be 192.168.1.1, according to the logs, is
it also the gateway (would be the routers stanza in the dhcpd.conf)?
Does the server declare itself as authoritative for the zone?
There are also occasionally things within the dhcpd.conf that need to
be set for pxe to work. Have you done these?
