ERROR: invalid header ...

[Martin Joachim Wolf <mjwolf@rumms.uni-mannheim.de>]

Hi!

I've got a big problem. I just installed Linux new for that I do not have
any problems with old configurations ...
bootpd and tftpd do work, my diskless client gets it's IP-Adress and the
name and location of the bootImage-file, and then it stopps with ERROR:
invalid header.
What can I do ?

Some facts:

server: saturn.kosmos ip=192.168.10.12
client: luna.kosmos ip=192.168.10.10 hardware-adr =000021481aa4

dir of the server: /tftpboot/luna
file: bootImage

Any ideas ?
