kernel stops booting process
Hi



I have a problem with our pxelinux server, the server works for month without any problems. We use syslinux-3.51 version on an FC2 with in.tftp. Today I want to install a new server, but it fails after loading the kernel and booting stopped with this message

I tested this with different OS like Fedora Core 6 and CentOS-5, both stopped at same time. OpenSUSE stopped after scan the network interface. I have no idea why this happens...in the installserver log I found this

You see vmlinuz and initrd.img were loaded but fails with kernel freece message

So any ideas what goes wrong here? THX FOR HELP IN ADVANCE!

I would have expect

| Oct 19 09:38:19 srv1 in.tftpd[20827]: RRQ from XXX.XX.201.226 filename centos-5/i386/initrd.img

(no slash prefixed to centos)

As I see it, does the new hardware not boot with the very same setup
as previous hardware did.
And it is indeed interresting to known why the new computer doesn't boot
the same way as other computers did.
First thing I would do, is netbooting an "old" computer to check the
server side setup.



I hope that this posting did help.
