Solved. A soft link caused wrong path, so message.txt was not found. This directory: /var/lib/tftpboot/X86PC/UNDI/linux-install/pxelinux.cfg was a soft link to: /var/lib/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg
Both my pxelinux script and message.txt were in there. The client would see read the pxelinux script but fail to see message.txt FIX: 1. Moved message.txt to: /var/lib/tftpboot/X86PC/UNDI/linux-install/ 2. Changed DISPLAY line in syslinux.cfg: DISPLAY ../X86PC/UNDI/linux-install/message.txt Ultimately, I'd like to figure out how to make everything look at just /var/lib/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/, but I need to learn about pxe.config. With PXE, TFTP, and systemimager all looking for this directory in different places, it gets really confusing.
