Hi John,
The latest pxe config file ("default") uses "ipappend 1" to give the
actual ip address to the kernel at boottime. You could try the following,
previous method, of defining the ip address:
serial 0 19200
timeout 0
append console=ttyS0,19200
default pxe/linux ip=192.168.1.254:::255.255.255.0:pxe:eth0 rw
initrd=pxe/initrd.lrp init=/linuxrc root=/dev/ram0
boot=/tftp/192.168.1.200 LRP=etc,inittabs,hdsupp,wget,smbmount
Regards,
Eric
