John, not sure how I missed this reply but thank you. I'm still failing miserably, I in fact installed from scratch onto the 2950, I preparedclient using --my-modules and tried to use those as the initrd.img and kernel on the si server. It's still failing, says things like I need to add some -init commands. also the image doesn't seem to be completely written to RAM, but not sure why, I've used the following commands in my pxelinix.cfg/default command # Uncomment next line to send pxelinux boot prompt over serial port 0. # NOTE: Be sure your serial port speed is appropriate (57600, 9600, etc.) # # SERIAL 0 57600 DISPLAY message.txt PROMPT 1 TIMEOUT 50 # Add the following to the append line above to use your first serial port # (ttyS0) as a console in addition to your monitor (tty0). NOTE: Be sure # your serial port speed is appropriate (57600, 9600, etc.) # #console=ttyS0,57600 # Add the following to the append line above to increase the size of your tmpfs # filesystem. About 100MB larger than your image size should suffice. # # Other tmpfs mount options are also supported. See the FAQ for details. tmpfs_size=1000M <--- This box has 8 gigs of ram ramdisk_size=1000M <--- LABEL systemimager KERNEL kernel APPEND vga=extended initrd=initrd.img root=/dev/ram LABEL kernel KERNEL kernel APPEND vga=extended initrd=initrd.img root=/dev/ram LABEL linux KERNEL kernel APPEND vga=extended initrd=initrd.img root=/dev/ram LABEL boel KERNEL kernel APPEND vga=extended initrd=initrd.img root=/dev/ram And my initrd.img and kernel files are of the following sizes -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 15488302 Dec 13 11:10 initrd.img -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1564844 Dec 13 11:10 kernel Any other advice? I've failed so far.. Thanks Tory ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
