Sanjay,
Make sure you have a tftp-server installed and properly configured
# yum install tftp-server
# vi /etc/xinet.d/tftp ;# change 'disable' to 'no' (root will be /tftpboot by default unless changed)
# chkconfig xinetd on ;# make sure the xinetd 'superserver' that daemonizes tftp is started at bootup
# service xinetd start ;# make sure its running now
Install a tftp client on your FC5 system and test tftp'ing to your server with it:
# yum install tftp
I recall having a very strange issue with one of my FC5 systems where for the life of me I couldn't get the tftp server responding (yet it was installed and configured properly). I removed it and reinstalled it and it was fine. If you've done the above then do a 'yum remove tftp-server' and start again to see if you have the same issue.
Tim

Subject: RE: [Avila] avila fedora 5 compilation issue
Subject: [Avila] Tim et. al,
OK...I've finally got fedora 5 compiling. It looks like somehow my installed linux.../include... directory was corrupt. Once I restarted with a clean Avila 0.6 release, the compiles started working.
Now I've got a TFTP issue.
when I type in the "load -r -v -b 0x01600000 zImage", the terminal returns an "Unknown error".
I can ping to the Avila board from the developmetn FC5 system. So looks like the network isn't an issue.
My guess is that TFTP isn't working somehow on the FC5 machine. I've checked the all the required files, and it looks like it should be working. My question is as follows:
Is there some easy way to determine if tftp is working?
What else will keep the tftp from working?
Thanks in advance.

I know all references keep saying building as root is risky...but I only seem to be able to get it working that way, and nothing catastrophic has happenend yet. Of course I've got a dedicated development station for this project, so I hope I can avoid any mishaps.
