Or any configuration issue? I searched the net but most people seemed to have path errors...but here it seems that the client is getting the kenrel through tftp or whatever mechanism is used here....only the kernel or settings are causing kernel panic. > > I am hoping to utilize 12-13 old PIII 550 Mhz machines....kindly help.

Do check paths in the scripts as these change from version to version. Try ubuntu?
