I am using TFTP server for that. I am pretty much sure that TFTP server is up on my host Redhat linux laptop. Some how I am not able to load the immage on to the board. Please any one can help me to solve this problem. I tested the tftp with the $:xinetd -d command. The out put came well( TFTP is running). Following error messages I am getting when I try to load the linux kernel using tftp. load tftp://192.168.0.115//vmlinux-2.4.3.malta.install.el-01.02.srec About to load tftp://192.168.0.115//vmlinux-2.4.3.malta.install.el-01.02.srec Press Ctrl-C to break Error : TFTP READ-REQ ERROR Diag : Host returned: ErrorCode = 2, ErrorMsg = Access violation Hint : Check TFTP-server: file-existence, directory/file-attributes Thank you, Usha. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
