Hi, once again I have installed my system new and I have again the problem that memdisk doesnt load when a PXE client starts to boot.
Again the message: Loading unattended/memdisk........... Loading unattended/fetnd.imz...........(This image works with this network card) Ready. But memdisk doesnt start !!!!! Because I am very very confused about it I give you for tonight and tomorrow root access to my server. I hope somebody could tell me where the problem is. I have the memdisk and pxelinux.0 file from the unattended-4.8 packet of unattended.sourceforge.net ROOT ACCESS TO MY SERVER: Go to your console and type: telnet pxeshit.dyndns.org User: guest pass: test Type two times cd.. and you are in the root folder (hopefully somebody finds the problem) and FTP Access: Go to your console and type: ftp pxeshit.dyndns.org User: guest Pass: test Thanks in advance ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: "Radu - Eosif Mihailescu" <[email protected]> Cc: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, August 05, 2009 4:12 PM Subject: Re: [Unattended] Problems with PXE and unattended-4.8 > Zitat von Radu - Eosif Mihailescu <[email protected]>: > >> Well, the only situation I came across that forced me to use the DOS >> boot disk instead of the Linux one was a couple of laptops with very >> new (read: weird) Marvel Yukon NICs that the kernel on the Linux >> bootdisk did not have support compiled in for (or available as a >> module). >> >> Of course, I could have rebuilt the Linux boot disk, but time was a >> scarce commodity in both cases and restarting the procedure with the >> DOS image (which got the job done just as well) seemed the natural >> choice. >> >> @Dexter >> >> On 08/02/2009 11:12 PM, Patrick Benton wrote: >>> >>> oh.
