similar to: Kernel version in CentOS 7 pxeboot images

Attempting to PXE boot from the BaseOS/x86_64/kickstart/images/pxeboot/ files results in repeating messages Invalid or corrupt kernel image eventually changing to Could not find kernel image: centos8.2.x86_64/vmlinuz I downloaded the files again, from a different mirror, and they are all the same. Wiped the files and recreated /tftpboot/linux-install/centos8.2.x86_64/. No dice. First mirror

Hi all, I've searched the depths of the resources on the internet; however I'm having trouble deploying a pxeboot solution via pxelinux. So far what I have successfully implemented in my infrastructure is a successful pxeboot setup for FreeBSD ( without the use of pxelinux ). I'd ultimately like to have a solution that will allow me to choose a network install of various Unix-like

What format is the images/pxeboot/initrd.img file on the DVD ? Its not gzip its not straight cpio What is it? I wish to change it. I'm finding information on changing the gzip version of initrd but not the PXE one. If I do "file initrd.img" it just says data. Thanks, Jerry

Hi, I am trying to create an image that is larger than 1.44MB to be used with PXE boot (Ghost 8 requires 2 floppys). My current attempts result in the boot hanging at : Loading boot sector... booting... Starting... My config just says the following: default memdisk append initrd=smalldos.img I created the image following http://syslinux.zytor.com/archives/2005-August/005573.html (I am unsure

Hi Folks, I have configured pxelinux.0 to allow chain-booting freebsd pxeboot.0 from it like this: label fbsdpxe KERNEL pxeboot.0 This works as expected, so no issue with that. There's one weird thing however. If I rename pxeboot.0 to pxeboot (omitting .0) and change the config file accordingly it throws this error at me: Invalid or corrupt kernel image. Same happens if I

Hello everybody, I am using pxelinux to install centos stream 9 systems but this stopped working a while ago with mirror.stream.centos.org because it started forcing HTTPS and pxelinux is HTTP only. Could we please make the mirror.stream.centos.org HTTP available again please? $ wget http://mirror.stream.centos.org/9-stream/BaseOS/x86_64/os/images/pxeboot/vmlinuz --max-redirect=0

Hello... In the split-second before the reboot, I can see that the pxeboot.0 process is indeed started-- pxeboot gets out just over 2 lines of text before the reboot occurs. So it's not a "ready" message. The text in question is (without *'s): ****************************************** PXE Loader 1.00 Building the boot loader arguments Relocating the loader and the

Hey CentOS list! I've got an oddity with a diskless client setup that I suspect is the result of the initrd.img I'm using, or some parameter I'm unaware -- or I need to build my own initrd image (and could use some assistance on what has to be done in that department) Testbed is defined as: VM A: ip: 192.168.250.10 with dhcp server, tftp server, nfs server VM B: pxeboot VM,

Hi All, I'm trying to figure out where the inittab is for a pxeboot/kickstart installation so that I can disable virtual terminals that allow for interactive input such as CTRL+ALT+F2. I've looked in the /etc directories for the pxeboot initrd as well as the stage2 and minstg2 files. Am I missing something grossly obvious here? -- James A. Peltier Systems Analyst (FASNet),

Hello, I hope this doesn't bounce again... I'm having trouble passing control of the PXE process from PXELINUX to the FreeBSD "pxeboot" program. I tried invoking "pxeboot" from the PXELINUX "boot:" prompt. This causes an error "Invalid or corrupt kernel image." I named pxeboot "pxeboot.0" and tried invoking pxeboot.0 from the

Hello... With syslinux pre7, I am consistently getting what looks like a stack dump out of the FreeBSD loader. I have seen this behavior from pxeboot before. Maybe once out of every fifty or so runs of pxeboot, I would see an error message like the one below, but it was both rare and inconsistent. Now I am getting this message every time pxelinux invokes pxeboot: BTX loader 1.00 BTX

Hi again... The text under "BTX loader..." should appear as a block where each line is 56 characters long. "BTX halted" is on its own line.

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

Folks, Last month i have setup PXE server using CentOS8-1-1911 release and everything was working fine so today i thought let me upgrade it to CentOS8-2-2004 so i just did rsync and updated all packages but after that it started throwing following error during pxe installation Installation source (Error setting up software source) I have check logs and i can see its setting correct source which

I see a single post by a Stephen Childs about a way to pxe-boot paravirtualized xen guests [1] but there is no follow up. I do see a link to the product in question [2] the funny thing is that I don''t see any discussion (or mention of rolling this into the main xen distro) - speaking as someone who manages many servers, virtual and non-virtual, the more I can get to run off my

I have a large set of Dell 620 blades fully populated with memory and duel socket CPUs, Centos6.4 image. I have a kickstart that I am using to pxe boot 36 blades. I have two internal drives which are raid1 (two disks formed into one, no redundancy), not san attached In the first set, 9 successfully completed. 7 more built correctly after trying another pxe boot. 2 just wont pxeboot In the

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.
