Hi,
I need help to install a newer version of pxelinux to /tftpboot on a RHEL4.4 server.
# uname -a
Linux bjlnx07 2.6.9-42.ELhugemem #1 SMP Wed Jul 12 23:36:53 EDT 2006 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
Currently I have this version
# rpm -q syslinux
syslinux-3.11-4
- I've downloaded syslinux-3.86-1.i386.rpm and syslinux-tftpboot-3.86-1.i386.rpm, but both complains about rpmlib
dependency.
# rpm -Uhv syslinux-tftpboot-3.86-1.i386.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
rpmlib(FileDigests) <= 4.6.0-1 is needed by syslinux-tftpboot-3.86-1.i386
rpmlib(PayloadIsXz) <= 5.2-1 is needed by syslinux-tftpboot-3.86-1.i386
- since my /tftpboot directory is backed up and now empty, I tried ingore dependency check,
# rpm -ihv --nodeps syslinux-tftpboot-3.86-1.i386.rpm
Preparing... ########################################### [100%]

I also tried to install RPMs to a RHEL 5.5 64-bit machine, failed too.
#rpm -ihv --nodeps http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/RPMS/x86_64/syslinux-tftpboot-3.86-1.x86_64.rpm
error: unpacking of archive failed: cpio: Bad Magic

#rpm -ihv --nodeps http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/RPMS/x86_64/syslinux-tftpboot-3.83-1.x86_64.rpm

Downloading RPMs from RedHat does work.
Can someone help check the packages on kernel.org mirror?
Regards,
Danny
