I've got a working PXE gentoo server with two networks, one for pentium and xeon and one for athon's. |

You need syslinux for PXE (that you already know) but tftp too, with a working NFS server including export file and the correct fstab on the nodes (assuming you are doing that for diskless client). |

Enclose a copy of my dhcp, PXE, exports and fstab file. Hope it can help you because it takes me a hard time to set it up because of lack of infos on the web about PXE boot. |

One more point, old version of PXE boot rom on client NIC cards have cause some inconsystency on boot. |
