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, 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

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

This patch removes support for use of NFS as a root filesystem from the kernel. It also updates the documentation to reflect this. b/Documentation/nfsroot.txt | 97 +++--- b/arch/arm/def-configs/a5k | 1 b/arch/arm/def-configs/adi_evb | 1 b/arch/arm/def-configs/adsbitsy | 1 b/arch/arm/def-configs/anakin | 1

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 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''m trying to build a linux/xen kernel that will run with an NFS root, with out much luck. I''ve edited src/xen-3.0.2-2/linux-2.6.16-xen/.config to include CONFIG_NFS_FS=y (was =m) CONFIG_ROOT_NFS=y (wasn''t there) after running "make kclean" and make "kernels" CONFIG_ROOT_NFS is gone (though the edit to CONFIG_NFS_FS remains): # # Network File

kinit/nfsmount.c:mount_nfs_root() should use the bootpath specified by bootp/dhcp.

I'm replacing the master node in a cluster and having issues PXE booting the diskless nodes. The current master works fine, but the new node to replace the current node which has the same setup is having the issues. The hardware is: Dell r920 (new master node, UEFI) Dell r620's (diskless, BIOS) Dell 1950's (diskless, BIOS) When trying to boot, the 1950 node displays (though both

Hi This is a PXELinux problem that I'm facing. The problem, in brief, is that I have a set of diskless nodes (AMD Athlon XP 1800+ with 256MB RAM) connected via an internal 172.20.0.0/24 network to a dual AMD Opteron running SuSE Linux 8.3 for AMD64. I want the remote machines to diskless boot off the main server and run independently. The diskless machines have a PXE-compliant BIOS for

Hi, I'm trying to configure PXE syslinux to boot a diskless client but the client can't find the PXE boot image. I've configured the DHCP server as follows: ---------------------------- # cat /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf option domain-name "cluster.net"; option domain-name-servers 10.0.0.1; default-lease-time 6048; max-lease-time 604800; log-facility local7; subnet 10.0.0.0

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 #

Hi. I'm quite new in Linux under-the-hood. I'm trying to net-boot a tablet Pc with no CD and FD. I successfully installed and configured DHCP and TFTP.

Hi: First - pxelinux works great - got it up and running with few problems. However - I ran into a snag, I am assuming I have a configuration issue. Here are the details.

I have several machines, same hardware and config, but one tiny little change.. the hostname. Each one of these diskless machines needs its own hostname.
