Where does the kernel come from?  I am trying to figure out why I
can't pxe boot the live cd like I used to a year or 2 ago - just now
getting around to trying to debug this. I am hoping it is a stock
ubuntu kernel, but I couldn't find one with the same md5sum.  Or if
you know how it was built, and if it has support for mounting / over
nfs, that's what I am currently trying to figure out.

Here is what I am doing:

# fstab:
# /var/lib/tftpboot/util/cz/expr.iso /var/lib/tftpboot/util/cz/exper
iso9660 loop,defaults,ro 0 0

# exports:
# /var/lib/tftpboot/util/cz/exper *(async,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check,ro)

VER=20111227-oneiric

cd /var/lib/tftpboot/util/cz
wget -N 
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/clonezilla/clonezilla_live_alternative_testing/$VER/clonezilla-live-$VER.iso

ln -sf clonezilla-live-$VER.iso expr.iso
mkdir -p expr

/etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server stop
umount /var/lib/tftpboot/util/cz/exper
mount /var/lib/tftpboot/util/cz/exper
/etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server start

pxe boot line:

append initrd=util/cz/exper/live/initrd.img boot=live hostname=oneiric
config noswap nolocales edd=on nomodeset noprompt
ocs_live_run="ocs-live-general" ocs_live_extra_param=""

netconsole=@192.156.1.5/eth0,@192.168.1.3/00:08:02:a0:ab:cf

tail of what streams to the console:

 [    9.500603] RPC: Registered named UNIX socket transport module.
 [    9.500787] RPC: Registered udp transport module.

and then it drops to a BusyBox prompt.
