If your tftp server home directory is /var/tftpboot then you can see the
client is asking for

  /var/tftpboot/linux
  /var/tftpboot/linux.cbt
  /var/tftpboot/linux.0
  /var/tftpboot/linux.com
  /var/tftpboot/linux.c32

and none of these files exists.

It's nothing to do with hyperterminal or half-duplex settings.

(1) The character duplication is because pxelinux is outputting both to the
COM port and the VGA BIOS. The Soekris redirects the VGA BIOS characters to
the COM port. Hence you get them twice.

(2) The 16-column line wrap is a bug in the Soekris VGA BIOS emulation. You
can patch and rebuild pxelinux.0 to avoid this, by stopping pxelinux writing
to the VGA BIOS. Details at the end of

http://archive.netbsd.se/?ml=soekris-tech&a=2007-11&m=5685776

and the patch, with instructions on how to rebuild pxelinux.0 using nasm, is
higher up. If I remember rightly, this patch will also prevent the character
duplication.

Just for reference, here's a working pxelinux.cfg/default:

serial 0 19200 0x303
label linux
  kernel openwrt-x86-2.6-vmlinuz
  append initrd=openwrt-x86-2.6-rootfs.cpio.gz init=/etc/preinit console=tty0 
console=ttyS0,19200n8

And here's a working grub/menu.lst (with settings to allow the unit to boot
even when no serial cable is connected)

serial --unit=0 --speed=19200 --word=8 --parity=no --stop=1
terminal --timeout=0 --dumb serial
hiddenmenu

default 0
timeout 0

title   OpenWrt
root(hd0,0)
kernel  /boot/vmlinuz init=/etc/preinit console=tty0 console=ttyS0,19200n8 
reboot=bios
initrd  /boot/rootfs.cpio.gz
boot

However, fixing the character output problems is mostly cosmetic. It won't
solve the problem of the missing kernel.

It's called a manual;).

But what I get on my soekris console is that

CCoouulldd  nnoo
tt  ffiinndd  kk
eerrnneell  iimm
aaggee::  lliinn
uuxx

bbtt::

I type "linux" as kernel image and it does not boot

The caracters are writing twice and it cannot find the kernel image version

My /pxelinux.cfg/default

have a line like this SERIAL 0,19200 for console connection

And the default image to boot is configured like that in the same file

kernel linux
append vga=normal initrd=initrd.gz console=ttyS0,19200n8
ramdisk_size=14332 root=/dev/rd/0 rw  --


Why is this happening?
How sould I adjust my Hyperteminal?

Thanks

Best Regards.

Not: it's in the tarball.

- symblic links from inside /tftpboot to locations outside it
 (chroot..)  ;)

http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/etch/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/

Select the right distrib dir of course.. You'll also need the matching
pxelinux.0 sitting next to it. I've run it succesfully as follows:

# mkdir /tftpboot
# tar xzvpf netboot.tar.gz
# mv debian-installer/i386/* /tftpboot

I run tftpd-hpa as a standalone daemon:
--
#/etc/default/tftpd-hpa
#Defaults for tftpd-hpa
RUN_DAEMON="yes"
#OPTIONS="-l -s /var/lib/tftpboot"
OPTIONS="-l -s /tftpboot"
--

You may have to add an entry to /etc/hosts.allow:
--
# /etc/hosts.allow
in.tftpd: LOCAL 192.168.1. : allow
--

Or something similar...

I never managed to get it work through inetd with Ubuntu/Debian
GNU/Linux. Of course no-one will stop you from running it
from /var/lib/tftpboot, but I don't like having persistent files
under /var (while many others abhor having non-FSSTND stuff inside "/" -
whatever..).

My PXE config looks like this:
--
# /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/default
SERIAL 0 19200 0
DISPLAY boot.txt
DEFAULT linux
LABEL linux
kernel linux
append vga=normal initrd=initrd.gz console=ttyS0,19200n8
ramdisk_size=14332 root=/dev/rd/0 rw  --
PROMPT 1
TIMEOUT 0
--

Common trouble:
- missing hosts.allow entry (I'm not sure if a standalone tftpd
  actually requires one, but it's always safe)
- there is any firewall running on the TFTP server blocking TFTP
- wrong "next-server" in dhcpd.conf
- files under /tftpboot aren't world-readable (0644 root.root)
  (on Debian, 'tftpd' runs as user "nobody" I think).

That should get you going.

Bill

VoipCrazy, first of all it depends what kind of OS your dhcp-server is. 
If this is a debian Server, read the instructions from Debian carefully:
http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/ch04s06.html.en
One important thing I missed at the beginning was to use the tftp-hpa 
package. The other tftp server (package tftpd) does not work at all for 
pxeboot.

Be careful when reading the settings in pxelinux.cfg/default
These must(!) be modified (if you haven't already done that) with the lines:
SERIAL 0 19200 0
in the first line and
append "console=ttyS0,19200n8" to every "append" line of this file 
(otherwise you don't see anything).

This way, debian netinstall is pretty simple to do (even if OpenBSD is 
far more simpler ;-)

I am running 4 5501-70 with Debian here and 6 with OpenBSD - went 
through all that pain.

Cheers
Jochen
