Re: PXE Kickstart works (almost)...

No I don't. In fact I don't even have the directory. I'm not using the 
syslinux packages, rather I am using the PXE rpms that are on the RedHat 
CD's.

My directory structure looks like this....

tftpboot
`-- X86PC
    `-- UNDI
        |-- BStrap
        |   `-- bstrap.0
        `-- linux-install
            |-- linux.0	(PXE file)
            |-- linux.1	(vmlinuz from RedHat/images/pxeboot)
            `-- linux.2	(initrd.img from RedHat/images/pxeboot)

from what I understand, PXE uses multicast to get the files it needs from 
mtftpd via the following mcast sessions.

[Multicast_ip_addresses]
X86PC/UNDI/BStrap/bstrap.0 224.1.5.1
X86PC/UNDI/linux-install/linux.0 224.1.5.2
X86PC/UNDI/linux-install/linux.1 224.1.5.3
X86PC/UNDI/linux-install/linux.2 224.1.5.4
X86PC/UNDI/linux-boot/linux.0 224.1.5.5
X86PC/UNDI/linux-boot/linux.1 224.1.5.6
X86PC/UNDI/linux-boot/linux.2 224.1.5.7

Does the pxelinux.cfg work with this method? If it does do I put the 
pxelinux.cfg dir under /tftpboot or the /tftpboot/X86PC/UNDI/linux-install 
dir? If not, is there another way pass paramters to the kernel with this 
method?
