tftp server failed

Problem solved http://wiki.systemimager.org/index.p...emImager_3.4.1

Hi, I'm stuck on this one error for the last 6 hours and I desperately need help. Help please!
I've found one other thread and there was no solution posted. Here's what everything looks like

[[root@localhost ~]# cat /etc/xinetd.d/tftp
# default: off
# description: The tftp server serves files using the trivial file transfer
# protocol. The tftp protocol is often used to boot diskless
# workstations, download configuration files to network-aware printers,
# and to start the installation process for some operating systems.
service tftp
{
socket_type = dgram
protocol = udp
wait = yes
user = root
server = /usr/sbin/in.tftpd
server_args = -s /var/lib/tftpboot -r blksize
disable = no
}

[root@localhost ~]# si_mkbootserver

[root@localhost ~]#

So that's what's going on so far i've heard some things saying that its bugged and you have to hack it a bit. Please i'm lost!

i was told to start tftp manually and go through and make sure tftp was working but i think that there;s a bug with systemimager. Can someone help me ?

What's the output of

Code:

netstat -tap

? Did you start xinetd?

i did start xinetd

heres the output

Code:

 [root@localhost ~]# netstat -tap

Can you also post the output of

Code:

netstat -uap

[root@localhost ~]# netstat -uap

It's running. What's the output of

Code:

iptables -L

[root@localhost ~]# iptables -L
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination

Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination

Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination

right now im trying to get the tftp server to connect to the localhost. I've done

chkconfig tftp on ; service xinetd start ; cp /etc/services /var/lib/tftpboot ; cd /tmp ; tftp localhost ; get services

and it's timing out!

so anyways i need some help ive disabled the firewall using /etc/init.d/iptables stop and setenforce0 to no avail please help!

What happens when you stop vsftpd and set protocol = tcp in /etc/xinetd.d/tftp and restart xinetd?
