Re: [CentOS] CentOS-6 by PXEboot?

I really just followed my procedure for netbooting CentOS 5, but changed the directory paths.

0. Set up local http mirror of CentOS 6
1. Set up tftp server; make CentOS 6 pxe kernel and initrd.img available
2. Use PXE menu to point to right kernel, initrd.img, and boot options
3. Set up DHCP server to point to the correct next-server and filename

That's essentially what I did. I just tried it again, and I saw that it halted at "waiting for hardware to initialize...", so maybe it is a hardware issue. I was trying to install CentOS-6.0 on an HP MicroServer. (As I explained, after trying PXEboot I actually installed it by using a USB stick.)

The strange thing is that it succeeded with CentOS-5.6, on the same machine, and I don't see any relevant difference.
