pxelinux.0 does seem to be the culprit.
If I force the DHCP to fail during PXE boot, the BIOS falls thru to the local disk and all is good.
So where can I get a better pxelinux.0 ?

A question, the second boot (after installation) becomes in hang if you disconnect the ethernet cable?
In my setup I found that the cause was the pxelinux.0 file adopted by the dhcp server, I changed it with an old version one to solve.

I know this is not strictly a cobbler question.....
I use cobbler to install FC21. I end up with a grub file with init16 and linux16 in it. The system will boot if the BIOS is set to boot from the disk, but it hangs if I let it PXE boot and then chainload (is that the right word) to the local disk.
Also, it will work with PXE if I change initrd16 to initrd and linux16 to linux
Any suggestions? Right now I am simply munging the grub config file in my kickstart script.
