I believe that pxelinux.0 should already be on your system. [sflory@sflory sflory]$ rpm -qf /usr/lib/syslinux/pxelinux.0 syslinux-1.75-3 > How big are the changes of the dhcp and tftp server? The packages don't need to change. You simple need to setup dhcpd.conf. The configuration is pretty normal. If you already have dhcp setup. All you need to add is 'file "/pxelinux.0";'. > As far as I understood the FAQ and HOWTOs correctly, you can use for > pxelinux the standard dhcp server but you have to switch to a different > tftp-server - correct? I've used the default tftp server in 7.2, but I've not tried using 7.3. I didn't have to do anything other than enable the tftp service, and throw a couple files into /tftpboot. > > Am Mon, 2002-09-09 um 00.30 schrieb Samuel Flory: > > On Sun, 2002-09-08 at 09:21, Joachim Kunze wrote: > > > Currently I'm playing around with PXE boot and my Dell Optiplex GX150 > > > clients and I always end up in a situation, where the PXE-kernel is > > > downloaded from the PXE bootserver and the PXE client boots the > > > PXE-kernel (provided by the Red Hat from the CD1 in /images/pxeboot/), > > > but I always receive a kernel-panic message as follows: > > > Kernel panic: Unable to mount root fs on 09:02 > > > I assume, that the initrd and the ramdisk couldn't be loaded, but why? > > > On the PXE bootserver, the pxe deamon crashes and I have to restart the > > > deamon. > > > I've tested RHL 7.3 and RHL beta (null) with the same results. > > > > The pxe server from RH is really over kill, and really hard to > > configure correctly.
