Hello list, help for the following problem would be greatly appreciated, it's so frustrating.

Trying to pxeboot 3.7 on an EPIA machine with what Linux is reporting to be a "Centaur VIA Samuel 2 stepping 03" processor. The server is a mac with os 10.4, here is the /etc/dhcpd.conf:

allow booting;
allow bootp;
ddns-update-style none;
shared-network LOCAL-NET {
        subnet 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
                option routers 192.168.1.88;
                option root-path "/tftpboot";
                filename "pxeboot";
                range 192.168.1.32 192.168.1.52;
                default-lease-time 86400;
                max-lease-time 90000;
        }
}

The directory /tftpboot has the files pxeboot and bsd.rd and tftpd has been verified to transfer files correctly. The EPIA machine is pushed the pxeboot file and the usual prompt appears, so I type bsd.rd and the spinning pipe character stays vertical and doesn'r move. after a wait of around 1 minute the number "4302596" appears, about a 30 second wait then the following text appears:

 read text: Unknown error: code 60
failed(60). will try /bsd.old

Perhaps I should copy the file bsd.old into the tftpboot directory but I cannot find such a file.

Can anyone help me, I have attempted googling but not found much,
Any solution and I promise to submit my dmesg! - what an incentive :(

thanks in advance
