Hi,

you should probably increase the timeout (10 = 1 second, is ap retty short
time to react)
Another thing you might want to do is add a default boot by adding
DEFAULT linux-new
in your config file.
So try:

PROMPT 1
DEFAULT linux-new
TIMEOUT 50

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

I hope that works,

_tom

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
