Re: [Sisuite-users] si_mkbootserver: PXE daemon not found
Hi Richard: I presume you are using the latest development release (3.7.3)? Thanks, Bernard Bernard- No, I'm using 3.6.3. BTW (for anyone else seeking answers to this) I've found the following info promising: General info about PXE: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Preboot_Execution_Environment SISuite-specific info: http://wiki.sisuite.org/NetworkBoot ftp://ftp.fysik.dtu.dk/pub/SystemImager/systemimager-3.5.howto from Ole Holm Nielsen and searching for network boot as well as pxe helps.

Re: [Sisuite-users] 3.7.3-1 no floppy drive found
Hi Dave, When attempting to enter the linux I get Could not find kernel image linux. It does look as though the append parameters I've added to the iso file are there however. I've tried to create a new iso file with all of the append parameters I need but it fails with what looks to be a limit to the number of append statements you can add. -John David Elliott [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent by: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 07/05/2006 05:41 PM Please respond to sisuite-users@lists.sourceforge.net To sisuite-users@lists.sourceforge.net cc Subject Re: [Sisuite-users] 3.7.3-1 no floppy drive found Hi John The linux is entered at the boot prompt, that's right. Can you give any detail of the error you are seeing? I have had cases with the append values not being correctly parsed - if you hit the pause key straight after it actually starts to boot the kernel you'll see these append values at the top as kernel boot arguments, and will be able to see whether it has picked them up as expected You might try modifying the --append syntax when you boot off the iso try linux --append HOSTNAME=$SCRIPT IPADDR=$CLIENT_IP linux -append HOSTNAME=$SCRIPT IPADDR=$CLIENT_IP linux -append HOSTNAME=$SCRIPT IPADDR=$CLIENT_IP also, if you mount your boot iso - what contents do you see in the isolinux/syslinux.cfg file - are the append values you entered when you created your iso listed correctly?

Re: [Sisuite-users] 3.7.3-1 no floppy drive found
Hi Dave, OK. I've got it working now. I trimmed out the append statements and created a new iso with what I need. Now it gets to the point where it gets the appropriate script however it can't stat device /dev/sda. I'm trying to install a Dell2850 and have been able to do so until recently. Has anyone been able to install a Dell2850 using systemimager in the last 3 - 4 months? -John [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent by: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 07/06/2006 09:34 AM Please respond to sisuite-users@lists.sourceforge.net To sisuite-users@lists.sourceforge.net cc Subject Re: [Sisuite-users] 3.7.3-1 no floppy drive found Hi Dave, When attempting to enter the linux I get Could not find kernel image linux.
