[syslinux] Did something change from 7.2 to 8.0 involving pxelinux?
I've got a working RH7.2 pxelinux setup, however, this new hardware we just aquired has a newer NIC card in it that 7.2 has no drivers for. And these systems come without CD or floppy (rack mounts). So I'm unable to provide a drv floppy. And I don't know how to tell pxelinux.0 config file to look elsewhere on the net for the drvnet.img. So, I'm going to move on up to RH8.0 because it has drivers for these 1Gig NIC cards. But now the problem is that pxelinux.0 can't seem to tftp upload the 8.0 vmlinuz file. I end up with a half dozen or so binary characters on my screen. Point it to the 7.2 vmlinuz and it works fine (til it gets to the point where it wants the driver disk). Has anyone seen this before? If so, what am I missing here? BTW, if you know the answers to my problem in the first paragraph (nfs accessable dvrnet.img), please let me know. I tried changing "dd" to "dd=/somepathto/dvrnet.img, but that effort got me no where. Ideas??? thx... -- J.C.
