Hi Bao,

thanks for answering so fast,
there is some complementary informations,

the /var/lib/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/default :

default linux
prompt 1
label linux
___kernel vmlinuz
___append vga=3Dnormal initrd=3Dinitrd.gz
ramdisk_size=3D8192 root=3D/dev/rd/0 devfs=3Dnomount

So we're using a vmlinuz kernel and a initrd.gz (the
last one tested)
Boot from HD

Hardware configuration (from www.openbrick.org) :

CPU : Geode GX1-300B
Chipset : Geode CS5530A
Bios : Award 2MB Flash memory (we're not using a CF)
System memory : One 144-Pins SODIMM Socket accepts up
to 128MB SDRAM. (130MB SDRAM, 300Mhz)
IDE : Ultra DMA/33 (ATA-4) Support
Ethernet Interface : Chipset:RTL8139C 10/100 Mbps RJ45
LAN Connector, IEEE 802.x protocol compatible
Disk : (Supports Compact Flash), HDD : Hitachi 1441MB
AD1881A AC97' Codec
Two ports USB, two serial RS-232 port, one parallel
port
DC Power Jack 5V Connector
IPC PC104 Slot
VGA : Chip Set Geode Cs5530A=20
Disk onchip
power management : full APCI and legacy(APM) support.

We hope that you will be able to help us,
