Hi,
I have setup pxelinux like this,
default linux
label=linux
kernel linux
append initrd=rootfs.img
ipappend 1
I have my dhcpd.conf like this,
allow booting;
allow bootp;
group{
filename "pxelinux.cfg/pxelinux.0";
host deploy
{
next-server 192.168.1.254;
hardware ethernet 00:0E:A6:22:28:21;
fixed-address 192.168.1.235;
}
}
My client is on a 3C940 network adapter LanOnMotherboard. When BIOS is set to
bootstrap using PXE,
Searches for a DHCP server ------ works fine,
Looks for a TFTP server ---------- works fine,
Downloads PXElinux -------- works fine,
Downloads Kernel ----------- works fine,
after that
VFS: Cannot open root device "" or 03:02
Please append a correct "root=" boot option...
Kernel Panic: VFS: unable to mount root fs on 03:02
My rootfs.img (uncompressed) is 64M big with the kernel options changed to
accept a 64MB ramdisk. Compressed it is around 11M.
My /etc/fstab contains
/dev/ram0 / ext2 defaults
/proc /proc proc defaults
In my /var/log/messages i notice a following line...
Apr 15 17:39:27 zeus in.tftpd[3110]: tftp: client does not accept options
Is there something that i'm doing wrong ? Could somebody help me out ?
Regards,
Manu
