Hi James, your boot kernel and initrd are 64 bit, but should be 32 bit.
We're just having another thread on this in the same mailing list. Here's a quote from it which might help you. : For installing the xeons you'll need to do some tricks. : - copy /usr/share/systemimager/boot/i386/standard/kernel : to /tftpboot/kernel-install-i386 : - copy /usr/share/systemimager/boot/i386/standard/initrd.img : to /tftpboot/initrd-install-i386.img : - copy /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/default to /tftpboot/install-i386.pxe : - edit the file /tftpboot/install-i386.pxe to point to the kernel-install-i386 : and initrd-install-i386.img which you prepared in the previous steps. : - set up /etc/netbootmgr.conf, get the install-i386.pxe file integrated. : - start netbootmgr and switch the next boot action to install-i386 : - boot and watch the xeon nodes...
