Hi Pete, Sorry for my ignorance here, but what's an ultrapro? You might want to try asking this on the syslinux mailing list -- but it may also not be the right kind of image, don't know. I'd be sure to share your options from /var/lib/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/filename to show what you are passing to it if that is the case. Some one else may have some other ideas. I have, for what it's worth, only tried it with memtest as well. --Michael --Michael _______________________________________________ cobbler mailing list [email protected] https://fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/cobbler
