"append" is not a gPXE command.  It is a PXELINUX command, which you
may have used previously to PXE install Linux.  See here for the list
of gPXE commands:

I suggest trying:
dhcp net0
kernel http://ipaddress/RH_5.5/insolinux/vmlinuz method http://ipaddress/RH_5.5/
initrd ipaddress/RH_5.5/insolinux/initrd.img
boot
