/Hi everybody

I used today the great online tool cast-o-matic to create a custom PXE initrd file. //I pre-configurated every option to simplify the process of image distribution (the standard initrd from the latest 2.6 kernel works fine for me).

The custom initrd seems to work (all the menu & options are skipped) but after displaying the usual two lines : udp-receiver 2005-02-26 compressed UDP receiver for /dev/hda at 10.10.40.64 on eth0

the next lines (received message, cap=...) never shows up like they did with the standard initrd.

When I check with the console shell I noticed that I can ping the udp-cast server and that the fdisk command shows my ide disk /dev/hda geometry. So I don't know what I missed in the configuration options (see below). I did my test on two differents IBM Thinkpad with different networks cards. The only errors I saw in the kernel startup sequence are related to missing pcmcia cardbus module (there's no option for that in cast-o-matic stage 2). My network card is on a mini-pci board anyway. / /Am I missing something (any tips will be appreciated) ?

Regards. Bernard
