Hi
Thanks for your reply

I will def update my menu tonight with what you have suggested. I am 100% sure that the vmlinux and initr files are in place. The rhel6.1 directory also is withint he tftp location /var/lib/tftpboot/ (i will double check the permissions). Its frustrating as you say I'm almost there with this, so will post back later today with what happens. many thanks again

Hi

Thanks for you help just wanted to say it has worked. The tc[dump helped to diagnose the problem. I had a typo in the menu vmlinux should of read vmlinuz

Ive left the menu default at the moment with what you had suggested, i'll now add in the kickstart script. Thanks again for your helpfull pointers
