I also encountered similar issue, if you using pxelinux.0 from
syslinux-3.86 maybe its the same issue.
I test it on IBM x3650 M3 using CentOS6.0 x86_64
- pxe installation finish but can't boot to disk during pxe boot
- manually select boot device to disk is working
- pxe boot looped several times , and output this messages at the end:
=========================================
It appears your computer has less than 268K of low
("DOS")
RAM. Linux needs at least this amount to boot. If you
get
this message in error, hold down the Ctrl key
while
booting, and I will take your word for it. Boot failed: press a key to retry, or wait for reset... ========================================= temporary i solve it by using pxelinux.0 from syslinux-3.11: 2342aeaa26e08422b1cab89c512a855c pxelinux.0 rinstall, reboot using pxe boot works fine. anyone know what is the impact if i downgraded the pxelinux.0 ?
