[syslinux] pxelinux hang: problem freeing memory?

[Greg Notch]

we are using a 2.4 kernel. does it need to be more recent than 2.4.2?

we have also tried homebrew 2.4 kernels w/ xfs, same deal.

10|root on linux-admin1[/tftpboot]#strings vmlinuz | grep 2.4
2.4.2-2BOOT (root at porky.devel.redhat.com) #1 Sun Apr 8 18:24:33 EDT 2001
/usr/src/bs/BUILD/kernel-2.4.2/linux/include/linux/mount.h

thanks for the help!

G.

RedHat 7.1 uses a 2.2 kernel.  Please try a 2.2.20, or a 2.4 kernel.
2.2.x for x < 20 has a problem booting on systems with large EBDAs, which
include many PXE stacks.
