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.

Hi all, I'm setting up a diskless linux system using pxelinux. I have reached the point where the kernel boots and init starts. However, I'am getting this message: INIT: version 2.78 booting can't create lock file /etc/mtab~14: Read-only file system (use -n flag to override) INIT: Entering runlevel: 2 INIT: Id "1" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes INIT: no more

I am having a problem with setting up diskless clients under CentOS 5.2. I have everything working under CentOS 4.7. This is an adaptation of the (somewhat old) Diskless Linux with PXE HOWTO by Gerd v. Egidy, originally at the URL http://www.intra2net.com/opensource/diskless-howto/, which is now defunt (there is a mirror of it at http://blog.chinaunix.net/u/2389/showart_82438.html). What I am

Hi all, I'm trying to setup a TFTP server to serve as repository for the config of all my Cisco network devices. As per the the tftpd man, I've added the "-c" option into the /etc/ xinetd.d/tftp (as follows) but I still cannot get write access (unless the file is already present). [root at chl1 ~]# cd /etc/xinetd.d [root at chl1 xinetd.d]# cat tftp # default: off #

Hi all, I have a centos 5 box I have setup, current with updates. (I have done this many times on centos 4). I did the yum install tftp-server, changed the /etc/xinetd.d/tftp file as shown. # default: off # description: The tftp server serves files using the trivial file transfer \ # protocol. The tftp protocol is often used to boot diskless \ # workstations, download

Hello all, I have observed a problem with a diskless PXE client I am attempting to configure. PXE/NFS/DHCP/TFTPd server is running CentOS5.1 and the Diskless workstation's root and kernel was extracted from a CentOS5.1 (custom kernel due to setting to enable Root File System support). Problem: When the diskless client boots and logs in I notice that my root user is being squashed, even if I

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

Hello, we have two diskless machines in a routed network. Both get their IP adresse and tftp configuration via dhcp. When we start one machine all works well, when the second machine tries to download the kernel via tftp we get this error: Jul 8 09:49:52 voyager2 in.tftpd[8374]: RRQ from 10.63.5.122 filename /andreas/pxelinux.0 Jul 8 09:49:53 voyager2 in.tftpd[8374]: tftpd: read: Connection

Hey everyone -- Is there a way to refer to the server with the tftpboot images so that when a client is booting diskless, it can mount an nfs directory to that tftp server? That is to say that I have a tftp server on 192.168.0.244. The usr directory is set to be shared amoung the diskless clients via nfs. In the root image, I have /etc/fstab set to something like: blah blah

Hi, I've got another one... NFS error 101 with NFSROOT has been discussed a lot, and hpa gave an answer to it which appears right. It's ENETUNREACH, and I suspect my diskless box does not set its IP parameters right. PXElinux is set up as follows: label linvdr kernel kernel-linvdr append initrd=initrd-linvdr acpi=off root=/dev/nfs \

Hello all Now I may be way of whack here, so please forgive me. I''m trying to merge xen with redhat''s config-netboot. The idea being a kinda stateless domU. For those that haven''t seen you share a rootfs and then bind mount all the individual files over then top, and the redhat gui builds all the pxeboot config and stuff for you if you want a diskless client. I

Hi I am running a pxe diskless node in f13 and I have some proposals to make ovirt-early working in this version. nash is no more available (nash/mkinitrd is replaced by dracut), so this following command fails : "echo "network --device $DEVICE --bootproto dhcp" | nash" it makes the network configuration incomplete. I replace the linuxrc command by dhclient and it's

Hi list, I have installed DHCP, PXE and the TFTP-Server tftp-hpa. I'm running Debian Woody on my server and I want to boot a PXE-Client with this server. I have installed all as it is described in the docs found on the net. Under root: /tftpboot/ /tftpboot/X86PC/linux /tftpboot/X86PC/linux/messages /tftpboot/X86PC/linux/linux.0 /tftpboot/X86PC/linux/vmlinuz

I've got a system (Supermicro P8SCT) that lacks a floppy or CD and it's old enough that it won't boot from a USB stick. Before I scrounge an optical drive to plug in, I thought perhaps I could install over the network, as I see "legacy LAN boot" in the BIOS menu. The guides for a LAN install I've found all want to do an automated kickstart install. Are there any

Hi, everybody! Problem in "tftp:(ack) Connection refused" was resolved with physically turning on client PC to the server's subnet (4th). Now I try to do remote booting, but after DHCP-request (it's successfull) I get the error "PXE-T01: File not found, PXE-E3B: TFTP Error - File Not found, PXE-M0F: Exiting Broadcom PXE ROM. I followed

All, I'm having an issue with my menu.c32. I created a menu and it appears correctly, but once I get to my choice, it won't select it and begin the install.

The other machine (client) using floopy to boot with pxe-request. The problem is, the client cannot get the bootfile("/tftpboot/pxelinux.0"), it always report no boot filename found. I also found the IP address, which

Hello all, Though the question is NFS-related, it is in conjunction with the PXE booting. Issue/Scenario: - PXE/DHCP/NFS and tFTP server running CentOS51 and is configured per PXE/Syslinux and RHEL diskless workstation documentation. 1. Attempt to test ability for client to PXE boot over the network and run Root-NFS 2. NFS export in the PXE server is: # # NFS Export Files for qatest1 host #
