Thanks Sam for your help - I try to get as much standard software from
RH as possible to work.
I believe that pxelinux.0 should already be on your system.
[sflory@sflory sflory]$ rpm -qf /usr/lib/syslinux/pxelinux.0
syslinux-1.75-3
You're right here, so I'll give pxelinux a try
How big are the changes of the dhcp and tftp server?
The packages don't need to change. You simple need to setup
dhcpd.conf. The configuration is pretty normal. If you already have
dhcp setup. All you need to add is 'file /pxelinux.0;'.
Sounds good - what I don't understand here is why /pxelinux.0 ?
I'd expect something like filename pxelinux.0 if I put pxelinux.0 in
/tftpboot
As far as I understood the FAQ and HOWTOs correctly, you can use for
pxelinux the standard dhcp server but you have to switch to a different
tftp-server - correct?
I've used the default tftp server in 7.2, but I've not tried using
7.3. I didn't have to do anything other than enable the tftp service,
and throw a couple files into /tftpboot.
OK - I'll give it a try. What I don't understand here - with the kernel
and the initrd form /images/pxeboot I'll be able performing an
installation on my pxeserver.
What about pxelinux? I assume, that I have to build a Linux system from
scratch - that's what I read in the HOWTOs I've found. Is that correct?
Thanks,
Joachim

Currently I'm playing around with PXE boot and my Dell Optiplex GX150
clients and I always end up in a situation, where the PXE-kernel is
downloaded from the PXE bootserver and the PXE client boots the
PXE-kernel (provided by the Red Hat from the CD1 in /images/pxeboot/),
but I always receive a kernel-panic message as follows:
Kernel panic: Unable to mount root fs on 09:02
I assume, that the initrd and the ramdisk couldn't be loaded, but why?
On the PXE bootserver, the pxe deamon crashes and I have to restart the
deamon.
I've tested RHL 7.3 and RHL beta (null) with the same results.
The pxe server from RH is really over kill, and really hard to
configure correctly. I prefer to use pxelinux as it works with the
dhcp, and tftp server in redhat with minimal changes.
