Does anyone have any experience with installing Linux using HP's Intergrated Lights Out
(iLO) Card? I'm using the virtual floppy that
is supplied through this interface.
I am able to install Linux successfully but not the GRUB boot loader. I get a "Error
29: Disk write error" or something to that effect. In order to perform the installation I
unzip the bootnet.img's initrd.img
file and copy the ks.cfg file within the initrd.img then gzip everything
back together. I know it has to do
with a pathing issue as to I can successfully install
including the boot loader if I just locate the ks.cfg
within the bootnet.img itself but this requires the
floppy disk to be physically loaded on the server. The only thing that I modify is the syslinux.cfg file with an append
to tell it where the ks.cfg file is located. Here's how my syslinux.cfg
files look. ks.cfg located in initrd.img for virtual floppy use: default ks prompt 0 label ks kernel vmlinuz append ks=file:ks.cfg initrd=initrd.img ks.cfg located in bootnet.img for physical floppy use: default ks prompt 0 label ks kernel vmlinuz append ks=floppy initrd=initrd.img I've also played around with the ks.cfg
file's bootloader configuration and nothing
seems to help. If anyone out knows
what I'm talking about and has managed to get this working, I'd
appreciate your help. Thx!! -Carlos |
