Hi community, since more than one week I try now to boot my client via PXE.
More informations about my equipment: Client: Board ASUS K8V-X SE Amibios with BIOS Revision 1501 (newest) Intel UNDI, PXE-2.0 (build 082) Server: Tyan Tomcat K7M Board with Eisfair 1.6.1 (www.eisfair.org) With exactly the same hardware unattended boots where working for more than one year perfectly without any trouble. INETD.CONF regarding PXE: START_TFTPD = yes TFTPD_ADD_ARGS = DHCPD.CONF (only PXE part) DHCPD_PXE_N = 1 DHCPD_PXE_1_NAME = test DHCPD_PXE_1_ACTIVE = yes DHCPD_PXE_1_KERNEL = unattended/memdisk DHCPD_PXE_1_INITRD = DHCPD_PXE_1_ROOT = DHCPD_PXE_1_APPEND = initrd=unattended/fetnd.imz I also tried the options "raw" and "bigraw" at the end of the append line, without success. fetnd.imz is the correct .imz file that works with my client. I tried this out with a floppy disk and everything was working. Generated (by my dhcp server) default file: # # Do not edit this file, edit /etc/config.d/dhcpd # Creation date: Wed Aug 5 22:44:43 CEST 2009 DEFAULT test PROMPT 1 TIMEOUT 150 DISPLAY pxelinux.cfg/boot.msg F1 pxelinux.cfg/boot.msg LABEL test KERNEL unattended/memdisk APPEND initrd=unattended/fetnd.img S Y M P T O M S: When my client boots it gets an IP from my DHCP Server. Then it starts pxelinux.0. Then the following happens: Loading memdisk............. Loading fetnd.imz........... Ready This happens when i Use MEMDISK 3.36. When I use newer MEMDISK version (I tried until 3.83-pre6) the same messages appear, but then the PC reboots itself and does this in an endless loop. So two possibilities: * freezing after "Ready" * rebooting after "Ready" I absolutely dont know what is going on here and I tried everything. I believe that all of my settings are correct, and think it must have to do with memdisk. AGAIN: It worked already with the same hardware....no changes If you have any futher questions regarding hard- or software details please tell me and I will post it here. Hopefully we can fix this problem....it really sucks :) regards Bernd ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
