im using true image 11 home over pxe on network, i was wondering, i have put the ram and kernel files over and managed to boot them up ok on my laptop, but when i press backup or restore options in the gui and select my computer/my data followed by next the computer reboots itself, am i missing something, do i need to add something to the kernel parameters, thanks.

Can you post the following information:

Build of TI 11
Kernel parameters you're currently using
Laptop brand/model and RAM

Does the TI CD boot correctly into the Full Mode version on the laptop? Check this first (if you haven't) because if the Linux mode has a problem from the CD, it's most likely going to have a problem from PXE.

You might take a look at this thread: Booting Acronis over Network (with Bootmenu) (http://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=181069)

Did you pull the files from a TI CD or from a TI Flashdrive? If you used the CD, the Flashdrive versions may work better.

You may need to add the ramdisk_size (ramdisk_size=32767) and root (root=/dev/ram0) parameters. You may also want to try the mem=####M parameter (mem=1024M limits RAM to 1GB, mem=512M limits RAM to 512MB, etc.).
