problm in PXE configuration needed for network installation through systemimager


I installed systemimager-4.0.2 and retrieved image from golden client
Installed a pxe-1.4.2
when I ran si_mkbootsever I got the error:

[root@ccpc167 ~]# si_mkbootserver
WARNING: this script may modify the following files:
--> /etc/services
--> /etc/inetd.conf
--> /etc/xinetd.d/tftp
And can restart inetd, xinetd or tftp servers.
Do you wish to continue (y/[n])? y
Ok, continuing...
/var/lib/tftpboot exists and is a symlink to /usr/share/systemimager/boot.
Checking for a tftp server... found.
Checking if tftp server is H. Peter Anvin's tftp server... yup - right on!
Checking for a running inetd... 5471.
Checking for a running xinetd... 18134.
Looking for update-inetd... not found.
Restaring xinetd ...
Stopping xinetd: [ OK ]
Starting xinetd: [ OK ]
done.
Looking for a tftp client... found.
Checking for loopback interface... up.
Does tftp server work... yes.
Looking for a pxe daemon... found.
Backing up /etc/pxe.conf...
Moving /etc/pxe.conf to /etc/pxe.conf.si_mkbootserver.bak36...done.
What network interface should pxe run on? ([eth0])?
Checking to make sure eth0 exists... yeah.
Checking to make sure eth0 is up... yup.
Will the DHCP server be running on this machine? ([y]/n)?
Restarting pxe daemon...
/usr/sbin/si_mkbootserver: line 755: 21690 Segmentation fault /etc/init.d/pxe stop
/usr/sbin/si_mkbootserver: line 755: 21691 Segmentation fault /etc/init.d/pxe start
done.
Checking to see if pxe daemon exited silently... it did.
it looks like pxe is misconfigured.
ERROR: pxe daemon configuration failed



if I manually start PXE daemon I get the error
[root@ccpc167 Desktop]# /etc/init.d/pxe
Segmentation fault
[root@ccpc167 Desktop]# /etc/init.d/pxe restart
Segmentation fault

plz help me out!!!!

my pxe.conf reads:

# is only needed if the above interface name is not present in the system
