Hi We have setup a TFTP server on a server running Fedora Core 2. We have a network/router appliance that acts as our DHCP server. The DHCP server gives our workstations an IP address then directs them to our TFTP server looking for the boot file named pxelinux.0 . On the TFTP server we have a directory called tftpboot in this directory we have the following files: - memdisk - pxelinux.0 - several dos floppy images - pxelinux.cfg <this is a directory> All the files and directories under tftpboot have permissions of 777. In the pxelinux.cfg directory we have a file called default with a simple menu. The contents of the file are: prompt 1 default ami label ami kernel memdisk append initrd=ami_62_144.img label intel kernel memdisk append initrd=intel_10-100.img When the desktop systems connect they receive an IP address from the DHCP server then they get directed to the TFTP server and we receive the following information on screen: IP = 10.0.0.223:10.0.0.10:10.0.0.1:255.255.0.0 TFTP Prefix: Trying to load: pxelinux.cfg / 01-00-11-11-17-cc-eb Trying to load: pxelinux.cfg / 0A0000DF Trying to load: pxelinux.cfg / 0A0000D Trying to load: pxelinux.cfg / 0A0000 Trying to load: pxelinux.cfg / 0A000 Trying to load: pxelinux.cfg / 0A00 Trying to load: pxelinux.cfg / 0A0 Trying to load: pxelinux.cfg / 0A Trying to load: pxelinux.cfg / 0 Trying to load: pxelinux.cfg / Default Could not find Kernal image : linux boot: If I type in the commands manually i.e. memdisk initrd=diskimage.img the floppy images loads straight away with no issues. We have tried for a couple of days to get the menu working with no success, any help that could be given would be greatly appreciated. /Regards/ Stewart Campbell *SCCB Solutions Pty Ltd* 21 Corvus Drive CASHMERE QLD 4500 PO Box 5634 BRENDALE QLD 4500 Phone: +61 (0)7 3882 1597 Fax: +61 (0)7 3882 1595 Mobile: +61 (0)414 292 398 E-mail: stewart.campbell at sccb.com.au <mailto:stewart.campbell at sccb.com.au> ICQ: 176774504 Web: www.sccb.com.au <http://www.sccb.com.au>

Pay attention to things like upper/lower case and spaces. Make sure your "default" file is lower case. -hpa

Are the parameters case sensitive? I have... label test KERNEL vmlinuz APPEND initrd=initrd.img ramdisk=8192 rw root=/dev/ram init=/etc/rc/rc.custom You have lower case "kernel" and "append"... The rest of what your default file shows looks like it should at least get the correct kernel name. Larry S.
