Hi all, I'm trying to get a pxeboot server up and running, according to the instructions on the WIKI (http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/PXE/PXE_Setup & http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/PXE/PXE_Setup/Menus) Here's my /tftpboot/pxepxelinux.cfg/default : default menu.c32 prompt 1 timeout 300 ONTIMEOUT local MENU TITLE PXE Menu label Dos Bootdisk MENU LABEL ^Dos bootdisk

Hey folks, I'm at colocaiton in the middle of a big rebuild and it seems I have a faulty CD rom in the server that I need to put Centos on via Kickstart. So I cannot boot the Centos 5.4 net install CD. Is PXE kickstart easy to set up? I have a laptop here with DHCP already going. I google and a bunch of stuff comes up but it does not look simple. I'm just shooting htis out ther eon

Well, I started the install, got pxeboot to get to the kickstart file, formatted the drive... and then it failed, telling me "unable to read group information from repositories. This is a problem with the generation of your install tree." A quick google gives me the first hit from a year ago, bug 4372 <http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=4372>, which says there's a metadata

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

hey guys, I have a really silly question for you! I just built a cobbler server that I am using to bare metal some boxes. But I am a bit n00b and need to figure out which ports to open in iptables. Here's a start: xinetd 2031 root 8u IPv4 94306 UDP *:tftp in.tftpd 9203 root cwd DIR 253,0 4096 588097 /tftpboot

This enables the ability to take the ovirt-node-image iso and deploy it to an iscsi disk. It also provides a sample pxe configuration for booting based on the iscsi root device. Includes support for user/password as well as reverse chap user/password. --- Makefile.am | 1 + livecd-iso-to-iscsi | 201 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ovirt-node-image.spec.in |

Hi there, I just installed oVirt and cobbler (I'm 100% novice!, so this could be a 100% silly question...). I can't get my initial host into the hardware pool. It PXE boots through cobbler, then fails with message "WARNING: Cannot find root file system!" and "Create symlink /dev/root and then exit this shell to continue the boot sequence." I suspect I didn't set

Hi, I have a (bugridden, idiotic) fedora 4 server with tftpd, nfsd and dhcpd support. I want to remove fedora from my network and initiate pxe installation of CentOS Linux on all machines on my network from my fedora box. I have the CentOS's pxe-kernel and pxe-initrd images. I have also compiled fedora's pxeboot file from the sources and placed it in /tftpboot/. Can someone please guide

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

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

I've used TFTP server on CentOS/RHEL 7 and 8 but not 9, so take my notes with the appropriate grain of salt... JIC, confirm on the TFTP server you have a process socket for it, e.g. $ netstat -a | grep tftp udp 0 0 0.0.0.0:tftp 0.0.0.0:* Your 'systemctl status' output implies things are OK, but worth a check. I don't see a "tftpboot" symlink

Hi All, I have a situation where I want to netboot and ONLY use pxelinux.cfg/default. It seems to take FOREVER for pxelinux to try all of the config file file options before falling through to default .... trying each possible combination multiple times ... increasing the wait time everytime it doesn't get a response. >From my log: Apr 2 19:53:17 helium tftpd[3372124]: tftpd: trying to

Hello, I am trying to setup a PXE boot installation server (CentOS 5 which has tftp-server-0.42-31.el5.centos and dhcp-3.0.5-5el5 and httpd-2.2.3.7.el5.centos) and I followed this recommendation: http://www.linux-sxs.org/internet_serving/pxeboot.html in order to create an http install server (I'd rather not do NFS, FTP installations due to bandwitdth restrictions at our site). I keep

Hi all, I have setup tftp on centos 4 before an it worked. I am not setting up tftp on centos 5. I have added many -v -v -v -v to the tftp config file. /var/log/messages shows me connection from the IP address - but no errors. My client eventually times out as the file is not being provided. It works by the way on localhost, just not from a client. selinux is turned off. I iptables turned

Hi All. I am curious if it is possible to reinstall linux distribution to centos (or another distro) if I have a remote linux server with no kvm access (i do not want to use virtualization). I know that for installation pxe, tftpboot and kickstart or a proper iso/cd and kickstart are standard options. But for such operations I would need kvm access. Are there any alternatives which do not need

I'm trying to install CentOS-5.5 on my new HP micro-server, which has no CD drive. I've set up cobbler and cobbler-web on my old server, and can access cobbler-web from my laptop. I have 3 queries about the installation. 1. Is there any advantage is using the 64-bit CentOS rather than 32-bit? 2. The CentOS OS seems to be available in 7 or 8 CDs.
