Hey All, I'am using pxelinux to try and boot a 200meg uncompressed (approx 50 compressed) ramdisk onto a machine with 512meg of ram. It looks as though I'am running out of memory (attempt to access beyond end of device error). Is there a limit on what we put for ramdisk_size? Or Is there other limitations? thanks -- Jeff Geddes, BSc(UNB) Computer Systems Specialist University of

It has a directory called

Hi all, I've searched the depths of the resources on the internet; however I'm having trouble deploying a pxeboot solution via pxelinux. So far what I have successfully implemented in my infrastructure is a successful pxeboot setup for FreeBSD ( without the use of pxelinux ). I'd ultimately like to have a solution that will allow me to choose a network install of various Unix-like

I have tried to use isolinux 2.05, and I am running into a problem where it will not boot. I have previously used version 1.66, and the older version works just fine.

I am currently in process of doing a binary search to find the
