It could be NIC related. You could try this Ethernet boot CD instead
of your NIC directly: http://rom-o-matic.net/
Also, I know we had some Samsung netbooks that did not like the default
kernel. I updated to the latest "PS" kernel and they worked. There is
also a "KS" kernel to, but I didn't try that one as the "PS" kernel
worked. To update go to the "About" (blue circle with an "i" in it)
section. There is a "Kernel Updates" spot where you can pick a
different kernel to load.

It didn't; it was doing the reboot cycle. I finally killed the task because the constant
start up& download was a bit much for me. I wonder why this is happening. Is there a
way to force the client to to pick up the assigned task? It sits at the PXE boot and then
moves on to Windows; it's just not getting its active task. Thanks for the ideas!

I'd say the first thing is to make sure there is a task of some kind. You never know, it could have been
canceled or if you say typed "fog" wrong on the registration it might not have even been queued.
So, inside your web console, if you click "Tasks" (the yellow star) and "Active Tasks,"
you should see any Deploy or Upload tasks you have currently queued.

No, I'm positive it was "upload." How can I tell if the image is corrupted?
I'm willing to try about anything. Thanks!

The only time I've seen that happen is when an image I deployed was corrupted.
Is it possible you accidentally clicked the deploy button instead of the upload
button? If it's going past the task, it sounds like it thinks the task is done.

I'm trying to upload an image from an XP Pro computer. When I send the command
and then restart the machine, the computer runs in an endless re-boot. It
starts, sees the PXE option--but doesn't pick up its task, loads Windows to the
login screen, then displays a re-start message, and then repeats. Is there a
way to force an upload? Anything else I can try?
Thanks!
