[syslinux] PXELinux cfg file problem

[Alex Holliday]

Hi I am trying to set up a thin client. I have managed to set up DHCP and 
TFTP on a Fedora Core 6 server but the problem is when PXELinux on the 
client tries to load the configuration file. I get the message:

Trying to load: pxelinux.cfg/01-00-0c-29-ca-7a-ce
Trying to load: pxelinux.cfg/0A000014
etc..
Trying to load: pxelinux.cfg/default
Unable to locate configuration file


If I use a TFTP client to connect to the server, I am able to download the 
configuration files by specifying the exact file name that pxelinux is 
trying to download. So what's the problem? I have played around with 
permissions to no avail. I have not been able to find any log files, or 
information on log files. I have tried using pxelinux 3.11 and am now using 
3.36 and there is no difference.

Here are my configuration files and directory structure:

/tftpboot
    pxelinux.0
    pxelinux.1
    vmlinuz-2.6.18-1.2798.fc6
    pxelinux.cfg/
        01-00-0c-29-ca-7a-ce
        01-00-0C-29-CA-7A-CE
        default


/etc/dhcpd.conf:
---------------------------
ddns-update-style ad-hoc;

option subnet-mask		255.255.255.0;
option broadcast-address	10.0.0.255;
option routers			10.0.0.138;

option root-path		"10.0.0.3:/thin";

subnet 10.0.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
    range dynamic-bootp 10.0.0.10 10.0.0.20;
    filename "pxelinux.1";
}


/etc/xinetd.d/tftp.conf:
---------------------------
service tftp
{
	socket_type		= dgram
	protocol		= udp
	wait			= yes
	user			= root
	server			= /usr/sbin/in.tftpd
	server_args		= -s /tftpboot
	disable			= no
	per_source		= 11
	cps			= 100 2
	flags			= IPv4
}


/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/default:
---------------------------
label linux
kernel vmlinuz-2.6.18-1.2798.fc6
append nfsroot=10.0.0.3:/thin


Thanks, Alex.
