Hi everyone,
I'm having trouble pxeboot'ing a PC Engines WRAP board.
After changing the tftp server to one that supports blksize, pxeboot
loads okay, but doesn't get very far:
PXE Loader 1.00
Building the boot loader arguments
Relocating the loader and the BTX
Starting the BTX loader
Consoles: serial port
BIOS drive C: is disk0
PXE version 2.1, real mode entry point @9a80:0680
[and it hangs ....]
I was using an older pxeboot before which stopped after "Building the
boot loader arguments".
Any ideas?
The wrap board is using Etherboot 5.3.12. I tried making that
Etherboot load a newer Etherboot (5.4.2)[1], but it has the same
problem. I've been told that it should be able to work if I load
the kernel (a kernel with the appropriate BOOTP options), but I'd
much rather use pxeboot so I can use the same kernel I'll use when
the system has been transferred to a compact flash.
- ask
[1] the dhcpd.conf snippet to have Etherboot load a newer Etherboot
is as follows. It took me a while to figure out that the etherboot
VCI includes the version number.
if substring (option vendor-class-identifier, 0, 13) =
"Etherboot-5.4" {
filename "tftp://10.0.201.50/pxeboot";
next-server 10.0.201.50;
option root-path "10.0.201.50:/usr/netboot/foo";
}
else {
next-server 10.0.201.40;
filename "eb-5.4.2-natsemi.zpxe-nfs";
}
