gpxe boot installer results in error no such file or directory: '/tardisks/cisco-ve.v00'.

hi,

I am using gpxe to boot the ESXi 5 installer to a Cisco UCS M3 blade. My image was built using imagebuilder from the standard profile in the 5.0U1 bundle and adding the cisco vem and fnic drivers then exporting to iso. I'm using http to transfer the files. I copied the contents of the iso to my web server. When I boot the server it loads most of the files then stops with the error no such file or directory: '/tardisks/cisco-ve.v00'. The file cisco-ve.v00 is at the root of my directory.

Any ideas what is going on here?

Thanks,

tim

some more info.

I switched to using a ftp server. I get the same error. i get into the system and look at the tardisks dir and cisco-ve.v00 isn;t there but I see it during the installer when it goes through the Loading ESXi installer and Loading CISCO-VE.V00. it is failing after the partition and during caching files. I even tried changing the case to lower both on the file name and in boot.cfg. still errors.
