Hello,

I tried to pxeboot a 6.2 image using the files from the DVD iso in
images/pxeboot but I think that the initrd.img is bad (I get a kernel
panic).  looking into it more it seems that the initrd.img is not a
gziped cpio file.    I confirmed the md5sum after I copy the file to
my local machines but it is not seen as gzip file.

# pwd
/mnt/tmp/images/pxeboot

# md5sum initrd.img
881250abc9f24ecb80e1fcee813a69f6  initrd.img

# cp initrd.img /tmp/test/

# md5sum /tmp/test/initrd.img
881250abc9f24ecb80e1fcee813a69f6  /tmp/test/initrd.img

# file /tmp/test/initrd.img
/tmp/test/initrd.img: data

# mv initrd.img initrd.img.gz

# gunzip initrd.img.gz

gunzip: initrd.img.gz: not in gzip format

Thanks,
Jolynn
