Greetings,
Hopefully a quick question.. I have been experimenting with
pxelinux and have noticed the following, when using initrd.gz
- vmlinuz needs to exist 'tftpboot' directory,
else I get an error from pxelinux.
eg. kernel/vmlinuz
- vmlinux also needs to exist in initrd.gz
(in the same relative path eg. kernel/vmlinuz)
else Linux is not booted.
[I haven't confirmed which one actually is booted,
other then the file needs to exist in both locations.]
I would like to only have a single copy of 'vmlinuz'.
(I'm using the net booting to test various linux kernel
options..)
I suspect that vmlinuz only needs to be in 'initrd.gz',
and that the pxelinux check can/could be disabled.
Is this correct?
Cheers,
Paul
