That doesn't even seem to be getting as far as actually executing kernel code,
or else it's dying extraordinarily early. What other kernel(s) have booted
successfully on this system?

[Wylie Swanson (ubuntu-datamaersk)]

Well, the Ubuntu 5.10 install CD boots fine and starts the install process -- of
course there is not enough space to do a full desktop installation. I have used
an earlier version of Knoppix, as well as DamnSmallLinux in the past.

[Matt Zimmerman (mdz)]

Curious. Has it successfully netbooted other kernels as well?

[Wylie Swanson (ubuntu-datamaersk)]

This is the first time I have tried to PXE boot. It should work. ;)

You should see atleast one message from the kernel, even in the most severe
cases of breakage, unless pxelinux isn't doing the right thing. I don't think
this is a kernel bug.
