Hello,

I am trying to us DNSMASQ to install Ubuntu Server a new machine, but  
it isn't working. HEre is what I have

dhcp-boot=pxelinux.0,fileserver,192.168.0.34
enable-tftp
tftp-root=/var/lib/tftpboot

dir /var/lib/tftpboot/
drwxrwxrwx  3 nobody nogroup 4.0K 2009-04-17 12:08 .
drwxr-xr-x 37 root   root    4.0K 2009-06-08 15:22 ..
lrwxrwxrwx  1 nobody nogroup   33 2009-06-08 15:24 pxelinux.0 ->  
ubuntu-installer/amd64/pxelinux.0
lrwxrwxrwx  1 nobody nogroup   35 2009-06-08 15:24 pxelinux.cfg ->  
ubuntu-installer/amd64/pxelinux.cfg
drwxr-xr-x  3 nobody nogroup 4.0K 2009-04-17 12:08 ubuntu-installer
-rw-r--r--  1 nobody nogroup   56 2009-04-17 12:08 version.info

Contents of pxelinux.cfg
include ubuntu-installer/amd64/boot-screens/menu.cfg
default ubuntu-installer/amd64/boot-screens/vesamenu.c32
prompt 0
timeout 0

DNSMASQ.log results
Aug 20 16:12:26 dnsmasq[4418]: TFTP sent /var/lib/tftpboot/pxelinux.0  
to 192.168.0.60
Aug 20 16:12:26 dnsmasq[4418]: TFTP error 0 TFTP Aborted received from

Aug 20 16:12:26 dnsmasq[4418]: TFTP sent /var/lib/tftpboot/pxelinux.0  
to 192.168.0.60

The display on the new box states the following:
PXE-T04: Unsupoort Request from 192.168.0.60
PXE-E36: Error Received from TFTP server
PXE-M0F: Exiting NVIDIA Boot Agent

Does anyone have any idea of what the problem is, or where to start  
looking to fix it? I know that the new box is getting the IP address  
from the dHCP server, 192.168.0.60, so it is something with the TFTP  
server.

Thank you

Philippe
