Special Forums Hardware Boot Loaders PXE boot not taking the init= option Post 302459239 by fpmurphy on Monday 4th of October 2010 07:21:55 AM

You appear to be doing a PXELINUX boot, not a PXE boot. I am surprised that you have a configuration file called "pxeboot.cfg" as that is normally the name of a subdirectory in which the actual configuration file resides, i.e /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/default. Can you please clarify?
