<br>
<tt>I saw your post about the same topic on the CentOS forum. When you
encounter bugs about the CentOS LiveCD, the preferred way to report them is via
a ticket on the CentOS LiveCD website (<a
href="https://projects.centos.org/trac/livecd">https://projects.centos.org/trac/livecd</a>).
Could you create a ticket there please?</tt><br>
<br>
<tt>Thanks,</tt><br>

style='font-size:8.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";color:#464646'><br>
<br>
<span class=apple-style-span>This is regarding a query w.r.t CentOS 5.5 Live CD
Bootup from PXE server. From the CentOS LiveCD project webpage, i do see that
PXE booting of CentOS live CD is pretty simple as the ISO image itself is
carried inside the initrd.</span><br>
<br>
<span class=apple-style-span>I downloaded the "livecd-tools-014-8.src.rpm"
from CentOS repositories and created a new initrd image ( which contains Live
ISO image ) using "livecd-iso-to-pxeboot.sh" script.</span><br>
<br>
<span class=apple-style-span><b># ./livecd-iso-to-pxeboot.sh
CentOS-5.5-i386-LiveCD-Release2.iso</b></span><br>
<br>
<span class=apple-style-span>This creates a new initrd by incorporating the ISO
image ( live ISO image ) with the existing initrd present in the live CD ISO
image.</span><span class=apple-converted-space> </span><br>
<br>
<span class=apple-style-span>But when i use this updated initrd from PXE
server, it says "Boot failed...press a key to retry or wait to
reset..."</span><span class=apple-converted-space> </span><img
border=0 width=17 height=17 id="Picture_x0020_1"
src="cid:image001.gif@01CB12EE.81A769E0"
alt="https://www.centos.org/uploads/smil3dbd4d75edb5e.gif"><br>
<br>
<span class=apple-style-span>Here is the PXE entry:-</span></span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span class=apple-style-span><span style='font-size:8.0pt;
font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";color:#464646'> </span></span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span class=apple-style-span><b><span style='font-size:8.0pt;
font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";color:#464646'>kernel vmlinuz0</span></b></span><b><span
style='font-size:8.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";color:#464646'><br>
<span class=apple-style-span>APPEND initrd=initrd0.img
root=/CentOS-5.5-i386-LiveCD-Release2.iso rootfstype=iso9660 rootflags=loop 3</span><span
class=apple-converted-space> </span><br>
</span></b><span style='font-size:8.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";
color:#464646'><br>
<span class=apple-style-span>- where vmlinuz0 is the kernel image present in
the CentOS iso and initrd0.img is the updated initrd image created using the
script ( livecd-xxx-pxe.sh ). i.e. CentOS live ISO initrd with ISO image.</span><br>
<br>
<span class=apple-style-span>When the /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/default is updated
with the above entries, then server gets restarted and in the next boot up
system shows an error, i.e. <b>"Alert ! System fatal error during previous
boot"</b></span><b><br>
</b><br>
<span class=apple-style-span>any one have experienced same issues?</span><br>
<br>
<br>
<span class=apple-style-span>Thanks in Advance !</span><br>
