Hi all,
I'm trying to get a pxeboot server up and running, according to the instructions on the WIKI (http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/PXE/PXE_Setup & http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/PXE/PXE_Setup/Menus)
Here's my /tftpboot/pxepxelinux.cfg/default :
default menu.c32 prompt 1 timeout 300 ONTIMEOUT local
MENU TITLE PXE Menu
label Dos Bootdisk MENU LABEL ^Dos bootdisk kernel memdisk append initrd=images/622c.img
LABEL CentOS 5 x86_64 MENU LABEL ^CentOS 5 x86_64 kernel images/centos/5/x86_64/vmlinuz append initrd=images/centos/5/x86_64/initrd.img ramdisk_size=100000 ksdevice=eth0 ip=dhcp url --url http://192.168.2.250/linux/centos/5/os/x86_64
label linux kernel vmlinuz append initrd=initrd.img ramdisk_size=9216 noapic acpi=of
Then, here's the layout for the CentOS 5 image:
[root@intranet /]# ll /tftpboot/images/centos/5/ total 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 35 Apr 13 07:20 x86_64 -> /home/www/linux/centos/5/os/x86_64/
As you can see, I linked the folder to a Linux image on the hard drive. Apache then advertises that folder on the LAN as follows: http://192.168.2.250/linux/centos/5/os/x86_64 and I can browse the folders via Firefox.
Yet when I bootup a PC in PXE mode, it doesn't actually load the CentOS image. I can see the PXE Menu and choose between "Dos Bootdisk", "CentOS 5 x86_64" and "linux" (which I setup as a test). When I load "Dos Bootdisk", I get an error:
Loading memdisk.... Could not find ramdisk image:images/622c.img boot :
So, it's reading the configuration, but not loading the CentOS boot image. /var/log/messages doesn't give my any errors on this (yes I know how to read /var/log/messages) Does anyone know how to get pxeboot to output debug messages to syslog? OR,what am I doing wrong? The tutorials I got on the net are rather vague on this. And please don't tell me to use Cobbler, I already tried that but no one one this lists supports it.
