| | Hello.
I know the typical setting to run a PXE server is the combination of
DHCP+TFTP+HTTP/FTP/NFS... servers, but my setting only must consist in a
DHCP+HTTP server (both in one machine with ip 192.168.1.1). So my dhcpd.conf
has these lines:
subnet 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
range 192.168.1.5 192.168.1.10;
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
...
filename "http://192.168.1.1/pxelinux.0";;
}
I use iPXE (http://www.ipxe.org) -which can get pxelinux.0 from a HTTP server-
to boot my clients. They see a pxelinux menu with an option to run the
installer. Its "APPEND" line is like this:
APPEND url=http://192.168.1.1/mountpointisodebian/preseed/myfile.seed ...
Everythings seems going well during installation until I get a error message
like "The installer failed to process preconfiguration file from
http://192.168.1.1/pxelinux.0.";
I've read in B.2.5 chapter from
https://www.debian.org/releases/stable/amd64/apbs02.html.en that if dhcpd.conf
there is a HTTP url, the installer assumes it is the url of a preseed file. I
though that appending the "url" preseed parameter this behaviour would be
overriden, but it is not!!!! What can I do to tell the installer to forget
using the url from dhcpd.conf as a preseed file's url??????
I'm really desperated.
Thanks!!!! |
