Why not come on into IRC on Freenode and join the #etherboot channel for some more lively help? This seems to be a little mysterious, but in a live discussion, a lot of information can flow both ways very quickly in order to get to the bottom of your problem. - Shao

I have a problem, that has had me banging my head against the wall for weeks. I am finally giving up, and asking on the list, as I cannot find documentation to aid in fixing this issue.
Here goes..
I have an Linux NetworX cluster here, that uses etherboot on the nodes.
The new software replacement doesn't use etherboot, although it's capable of sending out the pxe payload re-packaged for etherboot. The problem is, that when it gets to loading the kernel, it just hangs there. So after trying to build all sorts of new newer newest kernels. I did a little home work. What I did find, was that execute "file" on each kernel. ( The new and old LNXI kernel ) did show two differences.
Old : x86 boot sector
My newly built kernels show something different.
New : Linux kernel x86 boot executable RO-rootFS, root_dev 0x802, swap_dev 0x1, Normal VGA
I have searched and searched for documents that explain how to get the image I need. Can anyone please shed some light on this issue?
Thanks in advance.
