The struggle for getting Dell diagnostic to run

Getting memtest to work was easy (after instructions ;)

Downloaded memtest from http://www.memtest.org/ "Download - Pre-Compiled package for Floppy (DOS - Win)" and then update my pxelinux-config:
LABEL Memtest86
KERNEL memtestp

I downloaded EL5118A0.bin from http://ftp.us.dell.com/diags/EL5118A0.bin , executet it and run the imagemaker (making a harddisk-image (it says even so in the help - for PXE) - uploaded it to my preacher (dont forget chmod o+r ;)

LABEL Dell Diag
KERNEL memdisk
APPEND initrd=dedia.img

This diag. test. may not like usb so much but whom am i to care - it autostarts the test anyway ;)
