Hello,

we have the following problem:
- a new Dell Optiplex 740 boots pxelinux.0 
- loads the kernel
- start to load the miniroot.gz and crashs after loading about 1/5 of the miniroot

The tftpd messages are:

We tried different versions of pxelinux (3.11, 3.61, 3.62-pre12) with no success.
Then we tried version 2.04 from 2003 and all works fine.
We think it is no good idea to use this old version in a 400 Client environment.

Attached is hardware inventary file of this optiplex 740.

Any idea what going wrong here ?
