I cannot pxeboot knoppix 7.2.0 from either an existing pxe server

on
both the CD and DVD versions.
    I can, however, pxeboot knoppix 7.0.5 successfully using the same
machines in the same environment.

Is this a known issue?

If you booted the server with the 64bit kernel (knoppix64), you have to boot the clients with the 64bit kernel as well, otherwise the 64bit modules won't match.

This will be changed in the next release, so the clients will allways be 32bit regardless of the servers kernel type.

  I haven't attempted to boot anything into 64bit mode. I boot the server
from the knoppix DVD, and configure knoppix terminal server. Then
attempt to boot the client. The client gets an ip, starts the tftp
process, and then fails to probe for any video card ultimately dropping
to a minimal shell. I'll try the 64bit mode tomorrow to see if I get the
same results.

I'm getting the exact same results when attempting to pxeboot either 32 or 64 bit versions of knoppix 7.2.0. any ideas?
