Gurus,

I've just installed cobbler, I PXE booted a test client, and it 
successfully gets an IP from my cobbler server running DHCP...however, the 
client gets a "PXE-E32: TFTP open timeout" error.  I assume it cannot find 
or open the pxelinux.0 file, as described in my /etc/dhcpd.conf.   My 
/etc/xinetd.d/tftp file looks like this:
service tftp
{
        socket_type             = dgram
        protocol                = udp
        wait                    = yes
        user                    = root
        server                  = /usr/sbin/in.tftpd
        server_args             = -s /tftpboot
        disable                 = no
        per_source              = 11
        cps                     = 100 2
        flags                   = IPv4
}

and the /tftpboot directory does indeed contain pxelinux.0 :

ls -lsart /tftpboot/
total 440
  8 drwxr-xr-x 27 root root   4096 Dec 18 09:21 ..
  4 -rwxr-xr-x  1 root root      8 Dec 19 04:30 test.bin
  4 drwxr-xr-x  4 root root   4096 Dec 19 04:30 .
 16 -rwxrwxrwx  1 root root  13148 Dec 19 05:10 pxelinux.0
 28 -rwxrwxrwx  1 root root  26496 Dec 19 05:10 menu.c32
372 -rw-r--r--  1 root root 374146 Dec 19 05:10 elilo-3.6-ia64.efi
  4 drwxrwxrwx  5 root root   4096 Dec 19 05:10 images
  4 drwxrwxrwx  2 root root   4096 Dec 19 06:01 pxelinux.cfg


Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.
