Hi List, I am currently generating nightly ISO builds, which are then gzip'ed. I would like to boot these ISO images using iPXE and memdisk.
What I did up to now is: - PXE rom gets gpxelinux.0 - gpxelinux.0 loads default config file, which contains: kernel http://servername/memdisk append iso raw initrd=http://servername/nightly.iso.gz - both memdisk and .iso.gz are fetched via http - virtual CD-ROM boots, everything okay I then changed to iPXE: - PXE rom gets undionly.kpxe - iPXE loads and executes script which contains: #!gpxe imgfetch http://servername/nightly.iso.gz chain http://servername/memdisk iso raw - both memdisk and .iso.gz are fetched via http - memdisk states size of ramdisk, which is exactly the size of the .iso.gz file - memdisk says "Decompression error output buffer overrun". - System halts I tried this on various hardware and with different nics (3c905c-txm, eepro100). I also tried the undionly.kpxe as well as the floppy image. When googling around I found that mknbi must be patched to avoid this problem, but neither the memdisk nor the .iso.gz are nbi images. Did I get something wrong? Is there a chance to directly load memdisk and an .iso.gz from iPXE?
