Hi


We have setup a TFTP server on a server running Fedora Core 2.  We have 
a network/router appliance that acts as our DHCP server.  The DHCP 
server gives our workstations an IP address then directs them to our 
TFTP server looking for the boot file named pxelinux.0 .  On the TFTP 
server we have a directory called tftpboot in this directory we have the 
following files:
-   memdisk
-   pxelinux.0
-   several dos floppy images
-   pxelinux.cfg <this is a directory>

All the files and directories under tftpboot have permissions of 777.

In the pxelinux.cfg directory we have a file called default with a 
simple menu.  The contents of the file are:

prompt 1
default ami

label ami
    kernel memdisk
    append initrd=ami_62_144.img

label intel
    kernel memdisk
    append initrd=intel_10-100.img

When the desktop systems connect they receive an IP address from the 
DHCP server then they get directed to the TFTP server and we receive the 
following information on screen:

IP = 10.0.0.223:10.0.0.10:10.0.0.1:255.255.0.0
TFTP Prefix:

Could not find Kernal image : linux
boot:

If I type in the commands manually i.e. memdisk initrd=diskimage.img the 
floppy images loads straight away with no issues.  We have tried for a 
couple of days to get the menu working with no success, any help that 
could be given would be greatly appreciated.
