The tftp logs look as they do for a successful boot (only it stops at the kernel):

Oct 21 15:28:05 x in.tftpd[9044]: [ID 810593 daemon.notice] RRQ from 10.240.1.210 filename pxelinux.0
Oct 21 15:28:05 x in.tftpd[9044]: [ID 142274 daemon.warning] tftp: client does not accept options
Oct 21 15:28:05 x in.tftpd[9045]: [ID 810593 daemon.notice] RRQ from 10.240.1.210 filename pxelinux.0
Oct 21 15:28:05 x in.tftpd[9046]: [ID 810593 daemon.notice] RRQ from 10.240.1.210 filename pxelinux.cfg/0AF001D2
Oct 21 15:28:07 x in.tftpd[9047]: [ID 810593 daemon.notice] RRQ from 10.240.1.210 filename vmlinuz-8.0


This is as far as it gets though, only a few blocks of the kernel before crapping out:

TFTP Read "vmlinuz-8.0" (octet)
UDP D=57218 S=61995 LEN=23
TFTP Ack  block 0
TFTP Data block 1 (512 bytes)
TFTP Data block 1 (512 bytes)
TFTP Data block 1 (512 bytes)
TFTP Data block 1 (512 bytes)
TFTP Data block 1 (512 bytes)
TFTP Data block 1 (512 bytes)


The console on the server trying to load it spews this:
.
  I  ~[ c.  I  ~[ c.  I  ~[ c.  I  ~[ c.  I  ~[ c.  I  ~[ c.  I  ~[ c.  I  ~[ c.
  I  ~[ c.  I  ~[ c.  I  ~[ c.  I  ~[ c.  I  ~[ c.  I  ~[ c.  I  ~[ c.  I  ~[ c.
  I  ~[ c.  I  ~[ c.  I  ~[ c.  I  ~[ c.  I  ~[ c.  I  ~[ c.  I  ~[ c.  I  ~[ c.
etc.

Thanks,
Mike
