Hi All,

I wonder if someone with Debian and pxe understanding might point me in the right direction.

I have a Rocky server with dhcp/tftp/httpd that hosts Rocky and Fedora as pxe bootable images. It works fine.

I'm trying to do similar for Debian 12 but not quite getting the right incantations.

The vmlinuz and initrd load just fine and i get the error "Unable to find live system filesystem on the network"

I pointed the root filesystem at filesystem.squashfs. Is the standard vmlinuz/initrd able to map the rest of the system via httpd??

Any tips welcome

Thanks

Ken


I'm making progress. I added dhcp ethdevice=eno1  to the parameters in the pxe configuration and now one of my PC's finds the filesystem.squashfs and attempts to boot. It freezes at "Starting Gnome Display Manager"

I tried another system that has more memory and it fails with a message that it can't find eno1. Interesting.

:-) Ken
