This morning, I decided I would copy the kernel and initrd to my tftp server and boot them with pxe. I had no expectations that this would produce any better result, just pure desperation.
It worked!!! So here is the puzzle - why would a kernel+initrd boot from PXE but not from disk?
That is strange. That tells me it wasn't finding what it needed at /dev/sda2. Is there a bios order for boot devices that may specify the actual devices (on of which would be PXE -- which is why that succeeded)?? Also, I've attempted PXE setup with Apache and TFTP before but not had much luck. You have your howto laying around on how you have your server configed? I'd double check bios, and think through anything being funny with /dev/sda2. I guess there is nothing to look at from a log standpoint pre-boot, so it will be hunt and peck.... -- David C.
