Problems booting Lucid (10.04) Via PXE

Asked by Ron Laws

Booting Ubuntu over the network using a combination of PXE (for the kernel and ram drive) and an NFS Share for the Root File system (live disk image) This method works with older versions of ubuntu that i have used it on (ubuntu 8.04.4) But not in Lucid.

It returns an error which comes up on several different clients that i have tested this method on, all of which boot 8.04 fine,

I have included a screen-shot of error text hidden behind ubuntu's Boot splash (viewable by pressing the arrow key) here

Also this has been posted on the forum here

I could be wrong, but maybe it has something to do with the network modules? its defiantly a big or something, as everyone i have asked this about have been able to re produce the same problem.
