Greetings, I wonder if I could ask for a bit of help on the next small hurdle..I am trying to netboot a 4521, as a test to see if 4526 would work out for me.
Host system is Red Hat Linux - I think 9.0 I think the PXELinux kernel is booting, but it can't retrieve all of its libraries - probably a parameter I have wrong. One challenge is, tftp does not seem to log its activity. Not sure if it can be turned on, it's not mentioned in docs. I am using pxelinux. The output is below. I think the key thing is that "bootserver=255.255.255.255" - I don't know where that comes from. Thanks for your help. I include all the output below, only because I don't want to cut something that will shed light.
