Jesse,
Since you have it working.. would you mind pointing out what I did wrong...
I added "BootServA" and "BootFile" to my dhcp server.. but I think so long as you have the "pxe daemon" running, thats not necessary ..
do you have a /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/(default)
??
I don't have that yet.. maybe thats my problem :)

Does anyone know off the top of their head if the tftp server that "comes with" Red Hat 9 will work for booting PXELINUX per the requirements above.
I use the included tftp in RHL9 to pxe boot all the systems we build to Kickstart. I also use the syslinux boot loader and the kernel found on the RHL9 CD in PXEboot directory (or something like that). No issues here, works like a champ.

I am new to kickstarting and PXE, and would like to figure out where I am, and where I have gone wrong, and how to "get there from here" .. pointers to any *recent* docs are appreciated too :) searches on google seem to turn up Index of (blah) (the images directory) .. so its not much help.
I want to be able to kickstart RH9 linux boxes in much the same way one would "jumpstart" a Sun box. At this point, I have done..
cp images/pxeboot/vmlinuz /tftpboot/X86PC/UNDI/linux-install/linux.1 cp images/pxeboot/initrd.img /tftpboot/X86PC/UNDI/linux-install/linux.2
chkconfig tftp on chkconfig pxe on
service xinetd reload service pxe start
*** CANNOT RUN MY OWN DHCP SERVER ON THIS NETWORK
I want to have it jumpstart "automatically" using my ks.cfg (that I created with redhat-config-kickstart) .. but I don't know what "next-server" and "filename" translate to on a "Sun" DHCP server (currently controlling the network). But... I would be extremely happy if I could even get an "interactive" nfs install running...
I am hitting "F12" during the bootup of a Sun LX50, and it looks like it tries to boot, it loads the kernel, then it loads the initrd, but then it just sits there... dumblike... hehe I dont know what to do next... Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance, Tommy McNeely
