After one complete of hard working on this problem, i finally found the
workaround !!!!!
I Warn you, it's very VERY stupid.
Extract from http://syslinux.zytor.com/pxe.php:
-----
Before you post something, please make sure you have checked that your
kernel files aren't named using the extensions which have special
meaning:
.0 PXE bootstrap program (NBP) [PXELINUX only]
^^^^
.bin "CD boot sector" [ISOLINUX only]
.bs Boot sector [SYSLINUX only]
.bss Boot sector, DOS superblock will be patched in [SYSLINUX
only] .c32 COM32 image (32-bit COMBOOT)
.cbt COMBOOT image (not runnable from DOS)
.com COMBOOT image (runnable from DOS)
.img Disk image [ISOLINUX only]
----
How did you named your kernel & vmlinuz ? :)))
(ex: you have to name it centos-4 , NOT centos-4.0 !! )
What a stupid problem .... !!
