First of all it works great!! I have my 3Com cards booting off the network and it grabs the linux kernel just fine. My next problem is more of me not understanding the rules. Is the /tftpboot directory just like /? My though was to take a Linux rescue disk that had some imaging tools and then just put the whole thing in /tftpboot and tell it to boot the kernel in that directory. But I always

Hi, My problem is not uncommun, I have an old machine I'd like to use as a linux internet FW. The Bios is old and does not let me boot from an el torito bootable CD( 1998 PC) The CD's OK on other machines, boots fine Is there any way to get . isolinux on floppy, . when PC read floppy, isolinux tell it to boot from the /dev/hdc device, all bootfiles are in /isolinux on the CD

Hey Folks, I am attempting to set up a router box on a diskless machine. I have PXE boot rom and am able to load a kernel (2.4) and mount the root filesystem off the server. The kernel executes and then I get the kernel panic, with the "no init found" message. I have tried various permutations of the init= parameter (/bin/init, /bin/sh, etc..), the client machine can't seem to

Hi everyone, I got the error: NET4: Unix domain sockets 1.0/smp for linux NET4.0 ds: no socket drivers loaded request_module[block-major-8]: root fs not mounted VFS: Cannot open root device ""or 08:03 Please append a correct "root"boot option The strange thing is that it tries to mount from harddisk. This I got somewhere else: "the kernel looks like it is trying to

I?ve got a 512M machine and a 330M ( uncompressed ) initrd image. How can I mount the ramdisk? Normal booting seems to want to copy the entire initrd image into a Ramdisk, thus requiring 2X the memory. So what happens is the kernel boots correctly and I get, RAMDISK: ext2 filesystem found at block 0 RAMDISK: Loading 330000 blocks [ 1 disk ] into ram disk And then I never see the light of day after

I'm reading the docs accompanying SYSLINUX where it says:- ++++ CREATING A BOOTABLE LINUX FLOPPY +++ In order to create a bootable Linux floppy using SYSLINUX, prepare a normal MS-DOS formatted floppy. Copy one or more Linux kernel files to it, then execute the DOS command: syslinux [-s] a: Now before I run this program, I'd like to know which 'one or more Linux

Hello everybody I would like to build a bootable CD from my running SuSE 7.3 Kernel 2.4.10. The goal is to have a prebuilt system on CD which would install everything from a compressed image on the same CD, some kind of an emergency or initial setup CD. So I startet with an directory called root_tree, placed the isolinux directory and the binaries there. I copied the initrd from the /boot

Dear All, This may at first seem a bit odd but I am hopping to find some info that I feel would help the Linux community as a whole. With so many different flavours of Linux and with each distribution doing their own thing there doesn't seem to be any easy way to create a Linux install on a new virgin PC without committing oneself to a "Brand Name" (Red Hat, SuSE, Mandrake
