Hi, my name is Roberto and i'm writing to you cause of your "Setting Up A PXE Install Server For Multiple Linux Distributions With Ubuntu Edgy Eft" guide that i've found on Howto forge. I have the same problem since Fedora Core 1, and i wasn't able to solve it, even if i'm not completely a noob with linux. The problem is this: after that the computer starting up receive the ip address from the server (and the dhcp server is in fact perfectly working), then pxelinux starts, declare its ip number, and then after "TFTP prefix:" it starts searching for pxelinux.cfg/mac address, pxelinux.cfg/mac address minus last symbol and so on till pxelinux.cfg/default and then "Could not find kernel image linux". I can assure you the default file is under the pxelinux.cfg directory, but it seems that it's not readable. I was trying to chmod everything, 777, 444 and so on but with no results. Will you please try to help me ? Thanks in advance, Roberto. P.S. in var/log/messages there's also this: Jun 18 01:49:58 flashback dhcpd: DHCPREQUEST for 172.16.0.72 (172.16.0.1) from 00:0c:29:91:48:56 via eth1 Jun 18 01:49:58 flashback dhcpd: DHCPACK on 172.16.0.72 to 00:0c:29:91:48:56 via eth1 Jun 17 23:49:58 flashback tftpd[15406]: RRQ from 172.16.0.72 filename pxelinux.0 Jun 17 23:49:58 flashback tftpd[15406]: tftp: client does not accept options Jun 17 23:49:58 flashback tftpd[15407]: RRQ from 172.16.0.72 filename pxelinux.0 Jun 17 23:49:58 flashback tftpd[15408]: RRQ from 172.16.0.72 filename pxelinux.cfg/01-00-0c-29-91-48-56 Jun 17 23:49:58 flashback tftpd[15409]: RRQ from 172.16.0.72 filename pxelinux.cfg/AC100048 Jun 17 23:49:58 flashback tftpd[15410]: RRQ from 172.16.0.72 filename pxelinux.cfg/AC10004 Jun 17 23:49:58 flashback tftpd[15411]: RRQ from 172.16.0.72 filename pxelinux.cfg/AC1000 Jun 17 23:49:58 flashback tftpd[15412]: RRQ from 172.16.0.72 filename pxelinux.cfg/AC100 Jun 17 23:49:58 flashback tftpd[15413]: RRQ from 172.16.0.72 filename pxelinux.cfg/AC10 Jun 17 23:49:58 flashback tftpd[15414]: RRQ from 172.16.0.72 filename pxelinux.cfg/AC1 Jun 17 23:49:58 flashback tftpd[15415]: RRQ from 172.16.0.72 filename pxelinux.cfg/AC Jun 17 23:49:58 flashback tftpd[15416]: RRQ from 172.16.0.72 filename pxelinux.cfg/A Jun 17 23:49:58 flashback tftpd[15417]: RRQ from 172.16.0.72 filename pxelinux.cfg/default Jun 17 23:49:58 flashback tftpd[15418]: RRQ from 172.16.0.72 filename linux Jun 17 23:49:58 flashback tftpd[15419]: RRQ from 172.16.0.72 filename linux.cbt Jun 17 23:49:58 flashback tftpd[15420]: RRQ from 172.16.0.72 filename linux.0 Jun 17 23:49:58 flashback tftpd[15421]: RRQ from 172.16.0.72 filename linux.com Jun 17 23:49:58 flashback tftpd[15422]: RRQ from 172.16.0.72 filename linux.c32
This is what I've found: http://udpcast.linux.lu/pipermail/udpcast/2004-April/000166.html http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos/2006-May/065112.html These two pages suggest that it could be a hardware issue. Have you tried with a different client?
Hi, I have a working PXEboot install server (SunOS 5.10) with Ubuntu 7.10 Gutsy and Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy distros. I can sucessfully install these distros even with automated kickstart config but I want to add an OpenBSD netboot kernel too. Is it possible? How should I edit pxelinux.cfg/default file to boot openbsd? Yes I have a working openbsd netboot kernel but I have to manually edit the dhcpd.conf to boot the bsd kernel when a bsd install needed.
