Hello, we have the following problem: - a new Dell Optiplex 740 boots pxelinux.0 - loads the kernel - start to load the miniroot.gz and crashs after loading about 1/5 of the miniroot The tftpd messages are: Feb 21 14:48:32 srv006 atftpd[26225]: Advanced Trivial FTP server started (0.7) Feb 21 14:48:32 srv006 atftpd[26225]: Serving /linux/pxelinux.0 to 10.10.100.113:2070 Feb 21 14:48:32 srv006 atftpd[26225]: Serving /linux/p...

...ll. The problem I'm having is I'm not very sure I'm following Tim's documentation correctly... I'm not 100% what comes after the --- and whether the Sun kernel needs it's arguments specified their as well or whether it just needs the contents of the initial RAM disk aka the miniroot. Simply put, I'm trying to convert the following pxegrub menu.lst entry to a pxelinux.cfg mboot.c32 entry.

Hi, I am currently trying to replace our companies elilo UEFI PXE boot with syslinux. I compiled all the needed files and the DHCP distributes them fine to the requesting client. However when I try to boot our companies miniroot the DHCP serves the file, but it seems like it never finishes. The image is generated with the following command: find . | grep -v 'name'.bz2 | cpio -o -H newc | bzip2 > 'name'.bz2 The image has a size of 90MB. The kernel loads fine, and when I try to boot it without an initrd i...

Hi all, I'm trying to use mboot.c32 to build our Solaris machines but the problem we are getting is the network interface doesn't get configured. It would boot in to the miniroot and then drops in to a shell. At the shell, if I configure the interface via dhcp it would continue on with the jumpstart. This is the first time we are using syslinux (version 4.04) and looking at the changelog since version 3.73 it supports the "-solaris" option which passes the dhcp...

...aving some difficulties pxe booting Solaris. So far I have tried the mboot.c32, and the pxegrub shipped with Solaris. At first I had some problems with blksize, but this disapeared when I changed from atftpd to tftpd-hpa. The point at which I'm stuck now is, the kernel and x86.microroot/x86.miniroot is loaded but then VMWare crashes. I might try with real hardware, but I thought that VMWare had full support for Solaris / PXE booting. Currently I'm loading the pxegrub via pxelinux and this is my menu.lst file for pxegrub. # #pragma ident "@(#)install_menu 1.1 05/04/15...

...e base for my work so far: http://www.babytux.org/articles/howto/how2netknoppix.php I keep all of the netbootable systems in /tftpboot/systems/knoppix-#.##, where knoppix-#.## is the filesystem extracted from the knoppix cd. I use a variation on the knoppix-terminalserver script to generate a miniroot.gz (initrd) image for each major knoppix revision. pxelinux is then configured to point to the kernel and initrd and to the nfs share location for the system's root. the initrd image's linuxrc takes care of loading a suitable network and nfs module, running pump to get an ip address and...

Working to get ZFS to run on a minimal Solaris 10 U2 configuration. In this scenario, ZFS is included the miniroot which is booted into RAM. When trying to share one of the filesystems, an assertion is raised - see below. If the version of source on OpenSolaris.org matches Solaris 10 U2, then it looks like it''s associated with a popen of /usr/sbin/share. Can anyone shed any light on this? Th...

Hi There is a problem when creating a domU. I intend to install Solaris N90 on RedHat RHEL5 in paravirtualized(I''ve tried fully virtualized method, that''s no problem). #xm info release : 2.6.18-53.el5xen machine : i686 xen_caps : xen-3.0-x86_32p My steps are as follow(install via NFS): 1 mkdir disk and mkdir Solaris 2 mount /dev/cdrom /disk/Solaris, it tell me that disk

Hi, I am trying to use syslinux and etherboot together to network boot my clients. I am able to load my 2.4 Kernel without problems. However, when I try to load a 2.6 Kernel, I get this error: Could not find ramdisk image: miniroot.gz My initrd, named miniroot, does exist and I really don't know why syslinux is not able to find it. Can anyone give me some pointers? Thanks.

...ted into 3.7 knoppix. Copied all the directories onto the key. Then copied the contents of the /boot dir into the root dir. I renamed isolinux.cfg to syslinux.cfg I had some problems because syslinux did not like the minirt24.gz file. I booted to a windows box and unzipped the minirt24.gz into miniroot.img and *BLAMMO* it booted knoppix! Just like the cd... I did have to fuss with the bios boot order.. ScottP

Hello, I am trying to boot x86 solaris 10 8/07 via a system running fed7 and syslinux 3.62. If I use pxelinux I get the kernel to boot but it doesn't load my network drivers for the Broadcom II nic. I rebuilt the kernel (x86.miniroot) for solaris with the Broadcom nic drivers but it still didn't work. I read some stuff where people were using pxegrub and booting pxegrub.0 but that didn't work for me. I setup /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/default to- LABEL Solaris x86 kernel pxegrub.0 I get in....
