Robert, Maybe you've already tried this but. Do you know for sure that tftp works on your RedHat 7.0 box OK ? Can you use tftp to get files from directory /tftpboot ? When I installed RedHat 7.0 and tried to use tftp it wouldn't work. I think it comes with a rpm that is tftp-0.17-??.i386.rpm or something like that. To check your version type : rpm -q tftp According to bugzilla at the time you have to back install to tftp-0.16-5.i386.rpm. After doing this you will be able to use tftp.

I am using the latest version of DHCP/BOOTP (ics 2.0) to try to boot. It gets the address then claims it is sending the vmlinux file via tftp. On the SGI it just times out. Any advice, pointers, etc would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, Robert Ruserk
