[syslinux] PXElinux error - Invalid or corrupt kenel....
Hello all, Im a newbie trying to netboot a P4 machine with 1 gig of ram and no HD, I've set up the DHCP and ftp servers and PXElinux is loaded onto the client and gets to the boot prompt. When I type in the kernel name, in this case bvmlinux (compiled from source I got from kernel.org) linux-2.5.9 I get the error "Invalid or corrupt kernel image" Any suggestions on what this means? I've tried the kernel from my local Redhat 9 machine with the same error. I've tried the kernel from a diff Red Hat 8 machine and no joy either....... Thanx for any help -Alex
