PXE Boot Fails To Load Kernel Image
I have 2 Media Directors that fail to boot due to pxelinux not finding the kernel image. The scripts to create the symbolic links are broken
Could not find kernel image: 101/vmlinuz
Could not find kernel image: 84/vmlinz

dcerouter_1:/tftpboot# file */vmlinuz
101/vmlinuz: broken symbolic link to `/usr/pluto/diskless/101/boot/vmlinuz'
84/vmlinuz: broken symbolic link to `/usr/pluto/diskless/84/boot/vmlinuz'
default/vmlinuz: Linux kernel x86 boot executable RO-rootFS, root_dev 0x6801, swap_dev 0x2, Normal VGA
Changing to the appropriate symbolic linux now works

also the initrd.img were off and are now fixed
