Hi list, I tried to install RHEL3 U7 in my x64 machine through PXE, but the The PXE installation process stopped when loading initrd.img. It shows like below and stops: kernel /rhel3_u7-x86_64/vmlinuz [linux-bzImage,setup=0x1400,size=0x1638d5] .initrd /rhel3_u7-x86_64/initrd.img .. [Linux-initrd @ 0x37cd9000,0x316529 bytes] My question is: is there any way to get more information when initrd.img stops? so that I can debug the problem. The debugging mechanism available in this early boot stage is very limited, and I don't know how to deal with it.
Well, On thing u can do is that unzip ur initrd image... There is a script init, add some print statements after every executable line and try to catch up...
