[Voyage-linux] Different PXE Server

[John Schultz]

Ive followed http://syslinux.zytor.com/wiki/index.php/WDSLINUX in regards to
having WDS load a squashfile using PXELinux with a minor change to the
default menu as follows (from your last email)

KERNEL      linux/voyage/vmlinuz root=LABEL=ROOT_FS console=ttyS0,38400n8
> APPEND      initrd=linux/voyage/initrd.img fs=voyage/filesystem.squashfs
> boot=live netboot=fs vga=normal
>

When the system runs a netboot, I get the following:

> *Loading linux/voyage/vmlinuz
> Loading linux/voyage/initrd.img
>
> Decompressing Linux... Parsing ELF... done.
> Booting the Kernel.*
>

And then nothing.

Thanks again,
John
