The machine I'm attempting to boot will not accept any keyboard input while it is hanging. I only have one profile. The contents of /var/lib/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/default look like this:

Hi,
I'm trying to pxe boot a machine, and I get the following in /var/log/messages
May 13 15:18:54 ole in.tftpd[3913]: tftp: client does not accept options
The client machine just hangs on the line: Trying to Load: pxelinux.cfg/default
Thoughts?
Type 'menu' and see what happens? That message about client does not accept options is a fairly benign one. I see it from time to time and haven't tracked it down, however I've not had the problems related to it.
How many profiles do you have? Does $TFTPBOOTLOC/pxelinux.cfg/default contain what you would expect? Can we see it?
