Are you referring to having to have at least one option in the 'append' option in your pxe config file? yes. When the machine boots over PXE there is an option to enter kernel parameters. If nothing is entered the following happens. It counts down from 5 seconds and then starts downloading the kernel image from the PXE server. Then it loads initrd from the PXE server. It then hangs on uncompressing kernel image. The box that was PXE booting then needs to be reset. If you enter anything for kernel parameters the machine will boot with no problem. How do you specify the initrd to be used for each machine? We have append initrd=blah/initrd.img in the pxelinux.cfg file and this works for me. Closing due to inactivity.
