Summary: PXE clients do not seem to find files

Initial Comment:
The clients get an IP address then they seem to locate 
the TFTP server but never start pulling files....

Here is what I see ....  or think I see because it scrolls 
so quickly

UNDI data segment at :  0097ZC0
UNDI data segment size: 58D0
UNDI code segment at:  009CB90
UNDI code segment size:  2470

PXE entry point founf (we hope) at 9CB9:00CC
My IP adress seems to be 0A14E6C8 10.20.230.200
IP 
10.20.230.200:10.20.230.132:10.20.230.1:255.255.255.0
TFTP prefix:
Trying to load prelinux.cfg/0A14E6C8
Booting form local disk:
opening: prelinux.cfg/0A14E6C8
opening: prelinux.cfg/0A14E6C
opening: prelinux.cfg/0A14E6
opening: prelinux.cfg/0A14E
opening: prelinux.cfg/0A14
opening: prelinux.cfg/0A
opening: prelinux.cfg/0
opening: prelinux.cfg

then there is a line or two more but they go by so 
quickly I can not get a pause... 

Does anyone have any idea what I am or am not doing 
right .... I need to image about 4000 machines and was 
hoping to use flamethrower with a PXE boot since the 
devices do not have a floppy controller onboard and 
mkautoinstalldiskette only associates the floppy drive 
with fd0-fd7, not my usb /sda

First, I would have expected it to say "pxelinux.cfg/"
instead of "prelinux.cfg".  So, assuming that the only
difference in this firmware is filenames (which may be a bad
assumption) what you can do is the following, and it will
probably work:

  cd /tftpboot
  mv pxelinux.cfg prelinux.cfg
  ln -s prelinux.cfg pxelinux.cfg   # there may be some SI
things that look for this
  cp prelinux.cfg/default prelinux.cfg/0

Then test your tftp configuration manually, to see if you
can retrieve the default config file (now named "0"):

  cd /tmp/
  tftp servername
  tftp> get prelinux.cfg/0
  Received 173 bytes in 0.2 seconds
  tftp>

Cheers!

This exact thing happens on our HP DL140 server as well. 
These boxes have Broadcom BCM5704 gigabit cards in them.  I
get nearly the same output as above, except that it makes an
attempt to read prelinux.cfg/default and then tries to boot
from the hard disk (which of course fails).

Maybe this is just an issue with my NIC.  It seems HP has a
PXE patch of some sort out for these systems, but as they
only seem to come in .rpm format, they aren't too useful as
far as applying to a virgin system. :-)
