My pxelinux config file:

-----------
default os

label os
	kernel memdisk
	append initrd=client.ima
-----------

Messages from PXELINUX:

-----------
Pxelinux 2.00 (C) hpa...
UNDI data segment at	009b020
UNDI data segment size	3090
UNDI code segment at	009e0b0
UNDI code segment size	14e0

PXE entry point found (we hope) at 9e0b:0106
( correct IP informations ...)
TFTP prefix:
Trying to load default:
Loading memdisk
Loading client.ima
Ready.
-----------

And as i said before, it just sits there...
If you want I can test with a debug version, if you tell me where I can find
it.
