Hey All, I'am using pxelinux to try and boot a 200meg uncompressed (approx 50 compressed) ramdisk onto a machine with 512meg of ram. It looks as though I'am running out of memory (attempt to access beyond end of device error). Is there a limit on what we put for ramdisk_size? Or Is there other limitations? thanks -- Jeff Geddes, BSc(UNB) Computer Systems Specialist University of New Brunswick Faculty of Computer Science eMail: jgeddes at unb.ca office: Rm.

All, My name is William Russell and I am setting up a PXE Boot server on RHEL6 to server RHEL5 & 6 network installations. I'm just trying to document and optimize my setup which I moved from a RHEL5 server. I noticed that I have "ramdisk_size=9216", but after a fruitless search online, I still don't understand why we chose 9MB - it seems so random. Many others have used this as well from my research, but no one ever states WHY. My questions are pretty simple: 1. Why would someone choose SPECIFICALLY ramdisk_size=9216 versus t...

I was wondering, where is the format and options of files like /usr/share/system-config-netboot/pxelinux.cfg/default from system-config-netboot-cmd described? There are plenty of PXE tutorials with examples out there, but nothing that looks like actual documentation.
