Feedback Tips

Problem: After PXE boot using TFTP, the 3036 screen is filled with flashing colors and characters. The operating system being loaded is Linux.


Fix: The problem is caused by the 3036 being unable to access the kernel. Doing a chmod 777 on the kernel file (bzlmage) will correct the problem and allow the kernel to load correctly.
