Please keep the list copied on all transactions so we can track this issue and get you all the help necessary. It would be helpful to know what is coming out on the node consoles. This is sounding like it could be an SI kernel problem.

Dear Jeremy,
Can you help me on it too I have tired many methods I am unable to solve this issue.
I have tried but still it is nor working, is there any other method to install except using either auto install floppy nor network install.
I thing the SCSI AIC79xx was not loaded properly in all the installation methods. If I install the node using RedHat Installation disk what are the things we have to do manually. I hope we need to manually edit some configuration files in /etc/ and some other files please refer them to me it will really helps me a lot to fix this issue.
Thanks & Best Regards Sundaram. A

Sundaram, Yes, NAK means that tftpd didn't find the file, and it looks like pxelinux.0 found everything it needed. So, the problem does lie with the kernel it downloaded. (The NAKs are for a range of configuration files, which all mean different things, but it eventually finds `default').
Can you plug a monitor into the slave and see what messages come up during the boot. Hopefully it will give a better idea of why it can't load the image, e.g. corrupt binary, truncated, etc.
