Attempting to PXE boot from the BaseOS/x86_64/kickstart/images/pxeboot/ files results in repeating messages

Invalid or corrupt kernel image

eventually changing to

Could not find kernel image: centos8.2.x86_64/vmlinuz

I downloaded the files again, from a different mirror, and they are all the same. Wiped the files and recreated /tftpboot/linux-install/centos8.2.x86_64/. No dice.
