Hi Guys,

I am trying to replace a really old pxe based provisioning environment we have here and trying to evaluate cobbler which looks like fits our needs.  I have been unable to initiate the build though using cobbler and just to point out that I won't be using the cobbler server to provide dhcp.  We have another dhcp server that takes care of this.  Here is my setup:

Client & Server on the same vlan for testing purposes.  If it all works I usually add a helper address in our switches for clients on other vlans to reach our provisioning server.  I have setup cobbler and added the repository for RHEL64 and a new client but can't seem to get the client to install.  The client gets a dhcp address but then gives me the following error message:

--
PXE-E53: No boot filename received
PXE-M0F: Exiting Intel PXE ROM
--

Here is my configuration:
