similar to: gentoo pxelinux boot - pass hostname to dhcp client

Hello all, I am trying to configure a subdomain DNS server on a Cent OS 5.1 - for my lab. Brief configuration: Lab machine ---> 192.168.17.2 (should respond to DNS queries from hosts in 192.168.16.0/20 network) 1. I would also like to forward any queries outside the above network to our corporate domain (no firewalls between our 192.168.16.x network and the corporate network. The domain

Does anyone have any good how-to's or documentation on setting up read only root NFS for pxe booting diskless computers? A few months ago I stumbled upon an official Redhat doc through a google search(not hosted by redhat and I cannot find it anywhere on the Redhat site) written by Dave Kline named "Configuring diskless clients with Red Hat Enterprise Linux" from 2011. It seemed to

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

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

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

Is this an inadequate copy of the actual content? Or is it really a

I'm trying to boot RedHat 9.0 on a diskless PC from a head machine running Redhat 9.0. The network appears to be setup correctly. I can boot the installation disk image fine using pxelinux. What I am trying to setup is a number of different Linux systems each with its own root directory on the head machine. I am hoping that I don't have to modify the kernel for any of these systems.

Because everything I searched on for a PXELinux mailing list pointed me to here. And because PXELinux is a derivative of SYSLinux. If there is a better mailing list for my questions, please let me know. Since you say its possible, care to enlighten me on how to do so?

Hello ALL, I've got a diskless server working (under Gentoo), booting on it works. (a linux session start with no problem.) My Big problem, is to get Memdisk to boot with PXE. In fact memdisk is loaded, but it cannot find the img file. I've tried a lot of thing, but nothing works... tftp use : /diskless the config file for PXE in then in : /diskless/pxelinux.cfg/ the root for the

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

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

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

Given that dhcp is a big part of pxelinux, maybe someone here can help. What dhcp client can just echo all the settings that it gets from the server? this should work: dhcpcd -d -T but it just gives me my MAC. In case anyone can just fix my problem: I am trying to construct a hostname, and trying to figure out how to quickly test my /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf. this works: option

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

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'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've been having some real issues creating a working configuration file for my PXE Linux 2.03 installation from which I intend to boot diskless workstations. I've tried a huge number of differences for passing the init argument but none seem to work. Current config file should look something like this: ******** default std label std kernel linuz append root=/dev/nfs
