kick off a Data Discovery cycle and see what happens

verify the package exists and if it does distribute it to the dp again if that fails, delete the package from the dp, then delete the package, then recreate it, then redistribute it to a DP or DP(s)

you can do software updates with wsus, or with sccm, not both, sccm will control wsus once you set it up that way, your system status logs in ConfigMgr admin console should give you some ideas as to why its failing (look for the wsus logs)

is your dhcp server on the same server as sccm or on another box ? if DHCP server is on another box then configure it like so

you need to Add those boot images and create a distribution point and distribute the new boot images you can find out how to do that here in the Vista guide, I have updated the Deploy XP documentation to make this clearer.
