NOTE: I am using http://pyramid.metrix.net/trac/wiki/InstallingPyramid/PxeBootWin as a guide.
1) Here are the exact contents of my "pxelinux.cfg/default file". Remember this is being done on a Windows machine so I have replaced the / with \ and even tried it without. SERIAL 0 19200 DEFAULT \vmlinuz-2.4.22-pebble console=ttyS0,19200,n8 initrd=initrd.img ramdisk_size=8192 root=/dev/ram0 2) The initrd.img file is shell.img renamed! Although I've also tried using dd.img and it did not make any difference. "vmlinuz-2.4.22-pebble" is located in the top level TFTPBoot directory. 3) The image file I am trying to copy into the flash memory is located in the root directory of my web server application (Abyss Web Server). I verified that the we server is working correctly by connecting directly to another computer and using my web browser to download the file from the remote computer (e.g. http://192.168.200.1/image) 4) Below is a dump from TFTPD32. I do not understand where the filenames linux.cbt, linux.0 and linux.com are coming from. <pxelinux.cfg/default>: sent 1 blk, 244 bytes in 0 s. 0 blk resent [07/11 09:47:53.261] File <linux> : error 2 in system call CreateFile The system cannot find the file specified.

It looks like you've told it to fetch a file called "linux.com", but haven't created this file in your tftp server. > For reference, I have placed my full Linux image (which I have named > image.img) in the directory "C:\Abyss Web Server\htdocs" but I am not > sure if this is correct or not. What do you mean by a "full Linux image", and how did you create it? pxebooting requires a Linux *kernel* only (or a Linux kernel plus a Linux initramdisk; the latter is a gzipped cpio archive for the root filesystem for relatively recent 2.6 kernels) Hmm, I guess you're using the files from there: http://dl.metrix.net/support//pxeboot/tftpboot/ In this case, you should have a file "vmlinuz-2.4.22-pebble" in the top level of your tftp directory, and pxelinux.cfg/default should say SERIAL 0 19200 DEFAULT /vmlinuz-2.4.22-pebble console=ttyS0,19200,n8 initrd=initrd.img ramdisk_size=8192 root=/dev/ram0 Also you should have a file 'initrd.img' at the top of your tftp server, which should be one of these: http://dl.metrix.net/support//pxeboot/initrd/ There are more detailled instructions at the bottom of this page: http://dl.metrix.net/support//pxeboot/ Brian. _______________________________________________ Soekris-tech mailing list Soekris-tech@lists.soekris.com http://lists.soekris.com/mailman/listinfo/soekris-tech
