Hello,
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.
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.
# ./livecd-iso-to-pxeboot.sh CentOS-5.5-i386-LiveCD-Release2.iso
This creates a new initrd by incorporating the ISO image ( live ISO image ) with the existing initrd present in the live CD ISO image.
But when i use this updated initrd from PXE server, it says "Boot failed...press a key to retry or wait to reset..."
Here is the PXE entry:-
kernel vmlinuz0 APPEND initrd=initrd0.img root=/CentOS-5.5-i386-LiveCD-Release2.iso rootfstype=iso9660 rootflags=loop 3
- 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.
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. "Alert ! System fatal error during previous boot"
any one have experienced same issues?
Thanks in Advance !

Hi Krishnaprasad,
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 (https://projects.centos.org/trac/livecd). Could you create a ticket there please?
Thanks, -- Patrice
