Are you using the same kickstart for 6 and 7?

not even using kickstart. however i am using same pxe boot menu entry in (pxelinux.cfg/default). Here is the centos7 definition:

kernel centos7/images/pxeboot vmlinuz linux
append ksdevice=eth0 console=tty0 load_ramdisk=1 initrd=centos7/images/pxeboot/initrd.img

szboardstretcher · 11-21-2016, 01:33 PM

Mine is working,..

# root of tftp: /var/lib/tftpboot/

Code:

KERNEL /centos7/vmlinuz
APPEND initrd=/centos7/initrd.img inst.repo=http://serverip/centos7

Here is how I created the whole setup:
https://github.com/boardstretcher/ce...PXE_centos7.sh

Notice that I offer up the CD through http (inst.repo)

gglq000 · 11-21-2016, 01:51 PM

you mind sharing your boot log and if using kickstart ks.cfg? Thx.

szboardstretcher · 11-21-2016, 01:54 PM

If you look carefully at Line 88 you will see the kickstart file.

oh yeah i saw it and inspected it. it is slightly different in format than 6.x. there is something about network interface going down. I setup as yours and now net interface can not be pinged. Not sure what the f*** is the problem. Is your host server using rhel 6.x or 7.x? I am using 6.x for linux pxe host server.

szboardstretcher · 11-21-2016, 02:30 PM

PXE server is running 7 and serving 7.

gglq000 · 11-21-2016, 02:37 PM

i guess i will setup newly on centos7. some noeveau dev wanna apparently broke something.
it is sad they are allowed to contribute to this open source crap.

szboardstretcher · 11-21-2016, 02:59 PM

Yeah, it's probably best to use an installation script/guide called "Centos7-Pxeserver" on Centos 7.
