Infrastructure Software

Hi all, first thanks for reading this post. I am having trouble geting the i386 oracle linux to boot diskless off a SPARC solaris 10 U9 server.

I did the setup_install_server on the solaris side and then used the oracle linux diskless setup utility, rsync'd an image then tar'd it up and put it on the solaris system. Then, I created the shares in the dfstab, and created the dump and swap files. Basically my directory structure is:

/export/diskless/rh/root(where the image was un-tar'd, /export/diskless/rh/dump, and /export/diskless/rh/swap respectively.

I then setup DHCP on the solaris server as well as put the binary file for the mac address in tftp boot along with the kernel files(vmlinuz and RHEL-5....) and the pxelinux.cfg directory and the files that live there.

I can see my intel PC grabbing the IP from the DHCP server, but then i receive an error: TFTP-access violation when it looks like it tries to load the kernel from the /tftpboot on the solaris server.

all permissions are setup properly from what i can tell. Any idea why this might be happening?
