Due somehow to an RPM update going wrong. Solved by removing and reinstalling the very same `aims2-loaders` RPM, and restarting `aims2sync` daemon with `service aims2sync restart`.
### You need to load the kernel first; alloc magic is broken
AIMS2 recently uploaded image is not yet available on disk, so the client will not find the missing TFTP file on `/tftpboot/aims/boot/IMAGENAME`; actually the path will not even exist
