What/where is git? Are you referring to the packages from
http://dag.wieers.com/rpm/packages/syslinux/  ?

Which rpm corresponds closest to CentOS 5? For a x86_64 hardware the
closest I can see is "syslinux-3.51-1.el4.rf.x86_64.rpm"; would this
work? I don't see a x86_86.rpm for Red Hat EL 5


>add the "next-server" statement.

When I just (dhcp-3.0.5-5el5) add the next-server statement (in this
case 192.168.0.2) I get the following continusouly:

Could not find kernel image: linux
boot:

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

Also, as far as the 3.52 release is concerned, the error in
/var/log/messages :

Jul 18 07:15:47 bfc-srv01 in.tftpd[9628]: tftp: client does not accept
options

Given that this imply that the client is at fault, the newest Dell bios
(on this poweredge860) does not support anything above 2.1. Any ideas on
that?

Thank you very much.

Isn't the upcoming 3.52 release the first one that has the "next-server
fallback hack"?
If so, you'll either need to build 3.52 from git or add the
"next-server" statement.
