 Hi All,

I was able to solve my problem by just replacing the pxelinux.0 file .(I
downloaded it from metrix.net/support ).I couldn't figure out why the
earlier pxelinux.0 file was able to complete the boot process when it was
downloaded from a server(with Debian OS) but failed when it was loaded from
a server that had Fedora 4. .Syslinux version perhaps?

Fedora 4 has syslinux 3.08.

Thank you all for the help.

Regards,
Sritej
