unable to load network bootable image using etherboot
Hi i am new user to Linux.
I am using centOS 5.2 distribution. I am installing diskless Linux cluster. I am using Etherboot. I download boot rom form http://www.rom-o-matic.net/. I put this image in floppy disk. i configured dhcp,tftp servers. it seems that they are working. the dhcp server is assigning the client with ip address and tftp downloading vmlinuz.nbi. After that i am getting the following message: Boot from (N)etwork or (Q)uit? Searching for server (DHCP).... Me: 10.0.0.2, DHCP: 10.0.0.1, TFTP: 10.0.0.1 Loading 10.0.0.1:/vmlinuz.nbi ................TFTP download complete, but Unable to load file. <sleep> <abort> Probing for pci nic ... Probing for isa nic.... <sleep> this message is repeating several times. I anyone know what is the problem please help me i am eagerly waiting for replies. Thank you |
Looks like you need to edit the kickstart file to point to you PXE server. Try checking as per http://www.opensourcehowto.org/how-t...a-install.html

yes in this website everything is related to pxe-boot environment, but i am using etherboot now. thanks for ur reply |
try this link: http://etherboot.org/wiki/doc
it has troubleshooting. As I said before it looks like you have the wrong file path set in etherboot (soon to be gPXE ) follow this link http://etherboot.org/wiki/filename_specification and you will see what I mean. |
