Hello,
I've recently ran into a problem trying to boot over TFTP using
pxelinux.0. On the console, I got the following message:
Could not find ramdisk image: initramfs-3.10.0-123.13.2el7.x86_64
It took me a while to figure out that the file *could* be found but that
the file permissions were set wrong and the file couldn't be read. At
the protocol level (tcpdump), the server reply was looking as follows:
0000 00 05 00 00 50 65 72 6d 69 73 73 69 6f 6e 20 64 ....Permission d
0010 65 6e 69 65 64 00 enied.
Likewise, when the kernel image can't be accessed, I get "Could not find
kernel image: vmlinuz-3.10.0-123.13.2.el7.x86_64". So errors are
apparently not reported very well.
Could this please be improved?
Thanks,
Andreas
