I must be making some silly mistake. I can get the pxelinux.0 file to load, but cannot get the config file to load. I keep getting the message that it is trying to load a file from pxelinux.cfg. I have checked all the file permissions and other instructions. The tftpserver is running on Fedora 5. I have tried to load pxelinux on 2 completely different computers without success. Can anyone help me?
the tftp directory needs to be: <tftproot>/ <tftproot>/pxelinux.0 <tftproot>/pxelinux.cfg/ <tftproot>/pxelinux.cfg/default is that what you have? You might also want to turn on debugging on the tftp server itself. If your running tftp-hpa add -vv to the command line arguments (if your running fedora core 5 than you would want to look in /etc/xinetd.d/tftp) - John On Wed, 2007-03-28 at 21:02 +0100, Mike Kinton wrote:> I must be making some silly mistake.

Thanks for the reply. The directory is set up in the way you suggest. I have tried setting the verbose option on tftp. It shows the request of pxelinux.0 and then nothing Mike -----Original Message----- From: J.H.

So do take time describe what is happing. It would allready help if was stated how many requests where seen. ( only one or several requests ) My advice is: suspend the PXE boot test boot a Linux live system ( "Knoppix" ) start in the live system a TFTP client get pxelinux.0 or try to get /tftpboot/pxelinux.0 keep meanwhile an eye on the logging of the TFTP server When you have "pxelinux", get pxelinux.cfg/default configuration file Celeberate that you have a working TFTP ___SERVER___ Resume PXE boot test pay attention the setup of the DHCP-server, because it defines what to "tftp" Provide feedback ( inline quoting preferred ) Cheers Geert Stappers
