I set everything up by and(i.e. nt using mkbootserver, etc). I did not use the PXE package as it should not be neccessary(please explain this to me if I am wrong) since modern DHCP servers handle PXE booting.
The client machine boots, gets a DHCP address and finds the kernel provided by the systemimager package. I then get a couple of errors followed by a kernel panic. The errors are as follows.
cramfs: wrong magic
FAT: bogus logical sector size 0
Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 00:00
I am allowing the pxelinux.cfg/default file to be used. The contents of that file are as follows.
DEFAULT install
label install
kernel systemimager/kernel
append vga=normal systemimager/initrd=initrd.img ramdisk_size=90000 root=/dev/rd/0 rw --
directory structure is as follows.

I am hoping someone on this list might be able to shed some light on this kernel panic issue. So far the only thing i have seen in the list is that the ramdisk_size might have been set too small. I increased it to 90000 as suggested in another thread.
Thanks,
Jason
