Hello, 

We are trying to use 'PXELINUX' for network boot with root file system on ramdisk, the kernel image vmlinuz and compressed root file system rootfs.img.gz are both present in /tftpboot directory

PXELINUX client (pxelinux.0) requests and gets the config file AC134D6D from the TFTP server (which supports tsize option) contents are as follows

timeout 10
prompt 1
label linux-new
	kernel vmlinuz
 	append ramdisk_size=40000 initrd=rootfs.img.gz root=/dev/ram

After this point we see tftp requests coming in for linux, linux.0, linux.cbt instead of vmlinz or rootfs.img.gz! 

Any idea why this happens? Is there some 'error' in the format of config file we are using? Are tabs allowed?

Thanks,
Sowmya
