I'm sorry bothering the community again with my problem. But I revealed something strange in /boot/pxeboot. On August, 1st 9 o'clock CEST I did a backup of our diskless configuration and that was the last known good configuration. Today I run into struggle with the last cvsupdate. All of our diskless machines are unabale to boot, they crash immediately after trying to boot via TFTP. I tried to watch this process for several hours now and tried many reconfiguartions and tried to reveal the mistake I did - but I simply copied now /boot/pxeboot from the backup CD into the boot directory of the diskless bootstrap server and, voila!, all diskless stations are able to boot. I tried to watch whether there have been changes in the pxeboot code but in the specific time, since yesterday morning, there were no logs. Maybe a compiler error? Hope someone of the development group finds this error ... -- MfG O.
