I followed the instructions here:
http://nixcraft.com/file-servers/14803-how-centos-5-pxe-linux-installation-server.html,
along with a few other sources that were less successful, and I finally
got a pxe boot going. I'm using CentOS 5.3 x86_64 media as the source.
The server boots, but keeps hanging.
Here is my boot line:
images/centos/5/x64/vmlinuz com2=57600,8n1 console=com2,vga vga=normal
initrd=images/centos/5/x64/initrd.img ramdisk_size=32768 text rescue
console=ttyS1,57600n8 console=tty1 raid=noautodetect debug noquiet
And here's how it hangs:
