hello,
since the early dev phases of f7 , no single vmlinuz version is bootable
via pxe.
boot the pxe vmlinuz provided always leeds to "invalid or corrupt kernel
image"
it's really bugging since nowadays pxe and kickstart are common
infrastructure methods for deployment :-(

I don't know what's different with your environment, but PXE with F7 test2 and
test3 have worked perfectly, out-of-the-box the first time I tried it and
repeatably after that. I haven't played with it much, but I didn't do
anything different than for any other releases (or other distros) that I have
set up PXE booting before.

is it just me ?
maybe there is something wrong with the pxelinux version i am using ...

Martin,
I have been using PXE boot/install F7 development builds without a
problem (mostly x86_64, but sometimes i386 -build tree). Make sure your
config setup in dhcpd.conf and config file(s) under pxelinux.cfg
directory is correct. Try using the boot kernel/initrd located in:
/isolinux/vmlinuz
/isolinux/initrd.img

another problem with pxe and f7 rc2
i tested under vmware with scsi disk as hard drive ( not ide ) and
anaconda says it can't find any disks.
maybe the scsi driver is missing in vmlinuz or in the initrd ?

Yes, you are missing the scsi driver that is specific to your hard
drive. You will probably need to build a custom boot kernel to build and
load the driver during boot time, or just load the specific scsi module
during boot time.

what is the suggested method here, rebuilding the kernel or mkinitrd ?
never done any of them under fedora. is there a howto on this ?

There should be absolutely no need to rebuild the kernel. You need the initrd
to both contain and load the proper SCSI driver that you need (I would guess
you want the VMware one).
You should be able to build the proper driver as an "external module"
(compiling it without having to compile the whole kernel at the same time).

Known issue.
Something seems to be broken with LSI SCSI driver. (Though, AFAIR, the
problem is with the SCSI layer within vmware [though I'm not sure])
You'll have to switch your vmware configuration to IDE.

You might want to look at cobbler (http://cobbler.et.redhat.com) for
auto-managing your PXE environment.
It will keep you from having to maintain those config files, among other
things, like providing nice fully-automatic Xen installation features.

At least for me, both Test3 and Test4 worked just fine.
