Hi Michael,
which version is this? 2.6? Your sync output is indeed incomplete. The interesting part is right before "copying files for distro" (which is already handled by a different code branch). You are missing a lot of output there, e.g. "copying distros to tftpboot", "copying images", "generating PXE configuration files", etc.
Thats why I'd assume that it fails inside pxegen.copy_bootloaders(). Unfortunately, it does not contain much logging. I'd start there and add logging myself if I was you (e.g. to the last line of copy_bootloaders, to see if it ever reaches there).

Yes, the static is just for post-installation configuration, otherwise you could never PXE install these machines. Although if always_write_dhcp_entries is off, and netboot is disabled, the DHCP entry is left out, imho.
Greetings
Andre
