problem creating pxelinux.cfg default file
Hi All,

I was trying to create pxelinux.cfg/default file in a script that I use for creating backup of bootimage.

cat 2>${BACKUB_BOOTIMAGE_ERRINFO} >${pxelinux_cfg_file} <<EOF
prompt 1
timeout 0
display boot.msg

label restore
kernel kernel
append root=/dev/nfs console=${console_port_settings} panic=5 ip=::::::dhcp restoredev=/dev/nfs nmi_watchdog=1 NUKE ${extra_append_options}

EOF

But while creating the file I am getting the following error ::

Jan 2 10:53:25 typhoon-base-unit0 backup_bootimage[25958]: Failed - Create /opt/swd/backups/tmp/all_all_2012-01-02-10-43-28/cnp_root/isolinux/tftpboot/typhoon/i686/typhoon-unit0/pxelinux.cfg/default
Jan 2 10:53:25 typhoon-base-unit0 backup_bootimage[25958]: Failed to create boot configuration files - rc: 196
Jan 2 10:53:25 typhoon-base-unit0 do_backup_parallel_bootimage[17976]: Failed boot image backup - rc: 196

I am not sure what does this error means? Any help would be useful!!

Thanks
Sachin
