Hi!
I've been trying to setup PXE on my RH9 linux box with no success yet: my PXE client seems to be able to load "/tftpboot/X86PC/UNDI/linux-install/linux.0" but displays the following error message:
I'd recommend grabbing the pxelinux loader and using DHCPD to serve the PXE responses. http://syslinux.zytor.com/pxe.php has info.
It works fine. Thanks! But I still don't understand what the PXE server in RHL9 is for.
Check the PXE spec for more on the actuall error message. Is that before or after the boot menu appears?
It's a PXE server. In /usr/share/doc/pxe-0.1/README , Required equipment a PXE server with the PXE deamon and TFTP/MTFTP deamon is a requierment. You also need a DHCP server which can be the same machine.
The file linux.0 in /tftpboot is sent to the client (The machine that is booting) when "Remote Install Linux" is selected from the menu.
Look over the readme. You may need to enable (m)tftp in xinetd using chkconfig. Copy from the pxeboot directory on CD1 to /tftpboot/X86PC/UNDI/linux-install/RHlinux/ and restart pxe and xinetd
(service pxe/xinetd restart).
