Hey all,
I'am able to use pxelinux to successfully boot a particular kernel and
image on various IBM PC's ex. 6287-41U and 6591-34U. However, using the same
setup (ie. dhcp, tftp, pxelinux.0, pxelinux.cfg, networkcard, bootrom,
ram memory) on an IBM 6282-73U my kernel and image decompress fine but I'am
getting a...
Kernel Panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 01:01
I realize that this may not be problem with pxelinux. I'am hoping someone might
have a solution for this... maybe a kernel option that I can pass.
here is an example of my pxelinux.cfg default file:
default dlimage
prompt 1
display fcs.msg
timeout 100
label mkimage
kernel linux.1
append initrd=linux.2 lang= text devfs=nomount PROXYADDR=prox.cs.unb.ca
MANUALREBOOT=YES
label dlimag
kernel linux.1
append initrd=linux.2 lang= text devfs=nomount PROXYADDR=prox.cs.unb.ca
MANUALREBOOT=NO
label 3c905
kernel memdisk
append initrd=nw3c905.img
label intel
kernel memdisk
append initrd=intel.img
label samba
kernel memdisk
append initrd=samba.img
label local
LOCALBOOT 0
label modboot
kernel memdisk
append initrd=modboot.img
Also note I updated the bios on the problem PC to the latest version.
Thanks,
