Hi All,

During booting from network i am getting the following error

initrd too large to handle, disabling initrd
Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on
unknown-block(0,0)

Size of initrd0.img is approx. 317 MB
Size of vmlinuz is approx. 4 MB

Following is the part of my default file in pxelinux.cfg/

label linux0
  menu label MyFedora13 (default)
  kernel vmlinuz0
  APPEND rootflags=loop initrd=initrd0.img root=live:/FC13.iso
rootfstype=iso9660 rw liveimg quiet selinux=0 rhgb rd_NO_LUKS rd_NO_MD
noiswmd blacklist nouveau

Following are the information about Ethernet Controller and PXE on the
system

Intel Corporation 82562EZ 10/100 Ethernet Controller (rev 01)
Intel Boot Agent FE v4.1.16
Intel Boot Agent PXE Based Code (PXE-2.1 build 084)

Where is problem? How can i debug it?

Note: The problem is on just one system, all other systems boot without any
problem.


Regards,
