Hi Norman, Thanks for your quick reply. Following your suggestion, I verified that the IP address being used by the Shuttle XPC was not already in use, so that wasn't the problem.
Further investigation shows that the woody kernel doesn't work with the Shuttle. I don't know whether the problem is the CPU or the chipset, but kernel-image-2.4.20-1-k7 seems to make a lot more progress in the boot. I haven't gotten it to boot completely yet, but at least now I know that the problem is the kernel (and not the DHCP setup or the TFTP setup or the PXE setup, or something else). Thanks again, Susan On Sat, 29 Mar 2003 17:45:18 CST, Nathan E Norman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> said: > This is a shot in the dark since I don't have any PXE cards installed > right now.
