Problem PXE booting Fedora 28

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi all,

  I tried following this;


https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fedora/f28/install-guide/advanced/Network_based_Installations/

I've got to the point where I can PXE boot fine, the kernel and
initrd.img are downloaded by the client, but then the install fails and
drops to the dracut shell.

  In the shell, I see that the network interface isn't seen (ip addr
list only shows 'lo'). While debugging this, I found that plugging in a
USB drive is seen (journalctl -f -n 0 -> plug in thumb drive (ext2
format) -> drive seen) but no /dev/sdX device path is created.

  I mention the USB issue because a) it might be related and b) I'm
sorry I can't post logs, but I literally can't get data off the PXE client.

  These are KVM/qemu VMs (client and server), and I've tried emulating
virtio and e1000 NICs, and the initrd.img is from the normal Fedora 28
Server install DVD.

  I'm stuck here, unsure how to proceed or debug further. If anyone can
help directly or indirectly by recommending resources, I'd be very
appreciative. Thanks!

PS - VM host is also Fedora 28, in case it matters.
