Mandrake has chosen to have tftpd look in a directory that is different
from most other distros.
Take a look at /etc/xinetd.d/tftp. the server_args line should
have a '-s xxxxx', where the xxxxx is the directory where tftpd
is looking to find the /lts/vmlinuz-2.4.21-ltsp-1 file.
So, take whatever is specified in the -s option, and add whatever you
have specified in the 'filename' entry in /etc/dhcpd.conf.
That is the full pathname to the kernel. Once you've constructed the
full pathname, make sure the kernel is actually in that location.
You can fix it by moving the kernel to the right place, or changing
the value in the /etc/xinetd.d/tftp file.
Once you are sure that the pathnames are correct, then try it.
if it still doesn't work, then make sure that tftpd is really listening.
do this:
netstat -anp | grep ":69 "
You should see something like this:
udp 0 0 0.0.0.0:69 0.0.0.0:* 1018/xinetd
If you don't see that, then tftpd isn't configured to run.
In that case, check the 'disable' entry in the /etc/xinetd.d/tftp file.
Hope that helps,
Jim McQuillan
