You can't build pxelinux.0 for the ppc. You need to build it for the x86_64. There is an "ExclusiveArch" directive in the spec file, and with good reason. This is related to cobbler only in that I'd like to boot x86_64 machines from a ppc cobbler server, and the hang up is getting the pxelinux.0 file from the syslinux.x86_64 package into the right place. cobbler seems to want to manage that positioning, but I'm a noob at cobbler, so I'm asking, I guess, how do I hack in my own pxelinux.0 file in such a way that cobbler is aware of what I'm doing? Sorry if I wasn't clear. -- #:jfm3 _______________________________________________ cobbler mailing list [email protected] https://fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/cobbler
