Max, Would you please zip up the contents of /tftpboot/linux-install/pxelinux.cfg. You can send it to <jses27 at gmail.com>. After you use the Nettboot Tool to configure the diskless client it will not update the pertinate files to do so. So in saying it will not boot the default OS. Maybe this could be an error of mine.. But then again there was a post related to this issue this week. I do know with version 4 I did not have this error so perhaps it is within version 5. If you did not get or have this problem then don't bother to send the files. I'll start from scratch again. Either it's going to work this way or I am going to find an alternative. I have a Pain in the a** Client that wants this on version 5 specifically. -- ~/john OpenPGP Sig:BA91F079
Max, I get the error of the kernel panic after getting it to boot my default client configuration. The Kernel error indicates it can't mount the root file system. So if I'm thinking correct it has a bad initrd.img file. I am thinking of possibly rebuilding it in the client bits directory. The second idea to that problem could be the wrong appended boot "root filesystem." as in root=/srv/diskless/FOO/root as it could actually be pointing to the server root and not the client root. example: kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 to:kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/srv/diskledss/FOO/root All of this was with and without the Patches applied. I could not to no avail get 'updateDiskless' patch to work. It would bail out with errors all the time. I will let know on Saturday with what I come up with as today is a workday -- ~/john OpenPGP Sig:BA91F079
