"Do not try to serve something like an Ubuntu ISO using this method! Most if not all Linux distributions have a separate PXE configuration that does not require this workaround."

Reading http://www.syslinux.org/wiki/index.php/MEMDISK especially http://www.syslinux.org/wiki/index.php/MEMDISK#ISO_images http://www.syslinux.org/wiki/index.php/MEMDISK#Set_memory_access_method_.28raw.2C_bigraw.2C_int_.2C_safeint.29 i get the impression that "append ... raw" is not appropriate for an ISO with Debian on it. The guide you quote deals with MS-Windows for which "raw" is recommend. If your ISO boots from USB stick,then you may try to submit it to MEMDISK without option "iso". http://www.syslinux.org/wiki/index.php/MEMDISK#ISOHYBRID_images You need enough memory to load the whole ISO and to keep it while booting unfolds. > dnsmasq-tftp[2397]: sent /srv/tftp/pxelinux.cfg/default > to 192.168.15.119 Is 192.168.15.119 the IP address of the machine which shall boot ? If so then this machine should interpret the configuration and offer an opportunity to load the ISO. I wonder about "root (hd0,0)" in the example. The MEMDISK wiki mentions it only with GRUB-Legacy. So i'd leave it out with a SYSLINUX configuration. Have a nice day :) Thomas
