Hello,

I am trying to setup a PXE boot installation server
(CentOS 5 which has tftp-server-0.42-31.el5.centos and dhcp-3.0.5-5el5 
and httpd-2.2.3.7.el5.centos) and I followed this recommendation:

http://www.linux-sxs.org/internet_serving/pxeboot.html

in order to create an http install server (I'd rather not do NFS, FTP
installations due to bandwitdth restrictions at our site). I keep
getting
the following errors on the client side:

----------------------

Could not find kernel image: linux
boot:
----------------------

This is where it ends.

On the server PXE tftp dhcp http server I get the following in
/var/log/messages:

----------------------
Jul 18 07:15:47 bfc-srv01 xinetd[6718]: START: tftp pid=9627 from
192.168.0.254
Jul 18 07:15:47 bfc-srv01 in.tftpd[9628]: tftp: client does not accept
options
----------------------

Of the configuraton files (in /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg), which one needs
to be
changed to accommodate the client (with Broadcom Base code) or do I need
to
completely change the setup?

Any help you can give is appreciated. I can also provide tcpdumps as
well
if required. Thx.
