[et-mgmt-tools] Kernel panic while booting rhel4 via pxe

[niyaz chistee]

Okay now I tried one more thing. This time I installed vmware on the same
machine on which my cobbler setup was. And I booted RHEL4 via PXE and it
booted and got installed. But what is happening when I try to boot my
Virtual machine from VMware which itself is installed on a separate machine
with windows xp as host. I even have bridged virtual interface in vmware
/dev/vmnet0 on both places but it works on the same machine on which cobbler
is but not on the different machine with vmware.

Thanks
Regards
SysAdmin
