tftp fails to proceed with KickStart installation!

[Asim Zuberi]

Hi there --

Okay, here's the situation.

OS=RedHat 9.0
Hardware=Dell PE 750
NIC=Intel Giga bit card (integrated)

PXE boot fails and the error I get in the /var/log/messages file is
"tftp: client does not accept options".
I can't KickStart the servers using PXE boot anymore. I need to get 30
servers setup before COB today.
I read few email threads on the identical problem, I don't have time to
compile the "initrd.msg" file. Can
someone share the working "vmlinuz" and "initrd.img" files with me?

Any help will greatly be appreciated.

thanks

you sure like pushing deadlines. what tftp server are you using? The
error you are showing has nothing to do with your initrd.

I have seen the above error message happen on all clients, even
those that install successfully. So the tftp error may have no connection
to what is really wrong.

When you say PXE boot fails--at what stage does it fail. Also what
type of nic is in the dell PE 750? Are you saying that the PXE
just times out and you get nothing?
