We have been using pxelinux 1.62 for quite a while with great success Our machines are old Super-Micro rackmounts (PIII 1.4 GHz) and IBM x335. We recently acquired some IBM x336 servers with an updated Broadcom network adapter (compared to the x335). I couldn't get them to boot with pxelinux 1.62. The UNDI pxe envirenment would start, get an IP Address, locate the TFTP server, download the appropriate kernel and initrd and then would freeze at the "Booting Kernel" prompt. Booting an older machine works fine though. I switched the pxelinux.0 loader from 1.62 to 3.07 and now all machines are booting correctly but with a glitch: On the x335 and x336 there is some garbage that appears on the screen between the dots following the "Loading Image" prompt and the "Ready" Prompt. Here is a simulated "screen shot" where the XXXX represents the garbage: [...] Loading kernel-2.4.20-8-pcfarm-slave.................................... Loading slave-initrd.gz............................................................ ............................................................................. ...... ............................................................................. ...... ...............................XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXReady. Uncompressing Linux .... OK, Booting the Kernel [...] Everything is working great besides that. Should I be worried? Thanks! Benoit Perron
