similar to: How to use syslinux to mount initial ramdisk as root file system and mount NFS to "/mnt/nfs"?

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 have Xen (unstable) on two Debian Sarge 2.4.27 systems, one of which is an nfs server and the other the nfs client. I am trying to set up NFS root so that I can live migrate my domains from one to another. My /etc/exports on N1(10.5.144.29) /myfs1/foo 10.5.144.27(rw,sync,no_root_squash) 10.5.144.29(rw,sync,no_root_squash) 10.5.144.30(rw,sync,no_root_squash) My /hosts.allow on N1

Hi , I am doing some tests with klibc 1.1.16. I would like to have my root file system on an nfs export , but the /etc folder it to be mounted from a different nfs export. I am using 2.6.15.1 with initrd ramdisk initramfs nfsroot etc compiled in. My pxelinux.cfg looks like this: default opteron label opteron kernel gentoo/vmlinuz-opteron append initrd=gentoo/initramfs.img ip=dhcp

Hello all, I have seen various reports on this error posted in the past few years, but was unable to find a resolution to the various postings. I've googled the error messages too, and have hit on various sporadic similar problems encountered with no resolutions .. Apologize if this has been exhaustively queried upon in the past; however, I'd like to try asking again, nevertheless:

I seem to be having trouble getting the NFS root filesystem to mount after the kernel boots. As per thread from 2002 16 January (http://www.zytor.com/pipermail/syslinux/2002-January/000028.html), I double checked my DHCP config files, but to no avail. It cannot seem to attach to the mountd port on the bootserver. Here is some output from the kernel: loop: loaded (max 8 devices) Intel(R) PRO/1000

I have been googling and searching the archive , haven''t got anything helpful. Would appreciate any help.

Hi to all, I'm trying to install PXE boot + NFS for diskless boot for Linux system. So everything looks fine until I tried to use other NFS server to mount root file system. So I try just to change parameter in pxelinux.cfg files Append nfsroot=to_new_nfs_server:/new_root_dir But in boot process I received rootserver: TFTP/DHCP server rootpath: <empty>

Hi, I''m trying to boot XEN via network, so I''m trying to create a rootfilesystem over a RAM disk for XEN. Has anyone done that before? Thanks, Gianluca _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

First post to this list. I would appreciate some help on this issue. As background, I installed CentOS 7 on a Dell server, and then ran the following commands: yum update http://buildlogs.centos.org/centos/7/virt/x86_64/xen/centos-release-xen-7-11.el7.x86_64.rpm yum --enablerepo=centos-virt-xen-testing update yum --enablerepo=centos-virt-xen-testing install xen Doing that, I was able to

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 \

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. Presently my pxelinux.cfg is setup like: prompt 1 default Gentoo timeout 10 label Gentoo kernel boot/kernel-3.16.5-gentoo APPEND root=/dev/nfs rw ip=dhcp nfsroot=192.168.1.10:/RAID/diskless/XXXXX-mythtv-0.27-fixes,tcp,rsize=131072

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

This patch removes support for use of NFS as a root filesystem from the kernel.

Yes it is possible. Not sure why you posted this to syslinux though.

Hello, my apologies for not being sure whom to tell this problem, but it is very strange. Let me tell the story: I''m using XEN (3.0.2) with SLES10 (x86_64, SunFire X4100). On one machine I have three virtual machines ("DomU") that are very identically configured (SLES10 x86_64 also). There is also a SLES9 (i386) acting as a multi-homed NFS server. I can mount and access a

Hi, in SLES10 YaST insists in "xorg-x11" being installed, even if the display is redirected to a remote host. So I thought: Can''t I do it simpler? I''m still new to XEN, but I started like this: mount the SLES10 DVD to /mnt, and use this configuration file: ----- disk = [ ''phy:/dev/system/as1,hda,w'', ''phy:/dev/hda,hdb,r'' ] memory
