I'm trying to get my laptop to boot using PXE because of a dead hd/ide controller. My DHCP server tells it to grab the pxelinux.0 file and it gets the file in pxelinux.cfg just fine, but it just hangs at loading the config file. No kernel boots whatsoever, I've tried many different directory setups in the configs but I get the same result everytime.

The last line on the screen is Trying to load: pxelinux.cfg/01-00-00-86-4f-a9-a2, then a blinking cursor below it.

Code:
classical boot # cat pxelinux.cfg/01-00-00-86-4f-a9-a2
default /boot/kernel
append ip=dhcp root=/dev/nfs nfsroot=10.0.1.1:/home/diskless

Code:
classical boot # cat /etc/conf.d/in.tftpd
# Config file for /etc/init.d/in.tftpd
# Remove the -l if you use [x]inetd

INTFTPD_PATH="/home/diskless/boot/"
INTFTPD_USER="nobody"
INTFTPD_OPTS="-u ${INTFTPD_USER} -l -vvvvvv -p -c -s ${INTFTPD_PATH}"

Code:
dnsmasq.conf

dhcp-vendorclass=pxe,PXE
dhcp-boot=net:pxe,/pxelinux.0,classical.music,10.0.1.1

Well I did an
Code:
echo "sys-boot/syslinux ~x86" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords
and upgraded to syslinux-3.08 and the kernel booted right up, seems that 3.07 is broken somehow...
