Nothing executes! Perhaps I have a misconfiguration in my default file in pxelinux.cfg? I note in yours that rather than specifiying an initrd.img you specify /sbin/init. It's not clear why. Can you explain? Also, I took a step back and redid my tftpboot setup so that it looks like so: DEFAULT linux SERIAL 0 9600 LABEL linux KERNEL vmlinuz.tsl3 APPEND vga=normal initrd=ramdisk.cramfs ramdisk_size=27400 root=/dev/ram0 devfs=mount,dall rw console=ttyS0$ IPAPPEND 1 where ramdisk.cramfs and vmlinuz.tsl3 come from the TSL3.0 CD. I figured I would try to install from scratch -- I have some spare CF cards. I get the following: Linux version 2.6.14.2-2trsmp ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) (gcc version 3.4.4 (Tr ustix)) #1 SMP Tue Nov 15 10:26:36 GMT 2005 BIOS-provided physical RAM map: BIOS-e820: 0000000000000000 - 000000000009fc00 (usable) BIOS-e820: 000000000009fc00 - 00000000000a0000 (reserved) BIOS-e820: 00000000000f0000 - 0000000000100000 (reserved) BIOS-e820: 0000000000100000 - 0000000008000000 (usable) BIOS-e820: 00000000fff00000 - 0000000100000000 (reserved) 0MB HIGHMEM available. 128MB LOWMEM available.

I figure that the installer does not know how to deal with this embedded system with only one serial port, ttyS0. I will keep plugging away. One way or another I am determined to get TSL on this system!
