When you say "netboot", are you referring to specifically-named software, or just the fact that you have clients booting via the network? > But now, i want to go for netboot diskless with live-initramfs + tfptd-hpa + > dhcp3 + NFS + aufs I get from this that you've installed an additional product: live-initramfs. I have a similar setup, but with the standard initramfs-tools provided with Ubuntu. My setup requires two additional scripts in the initrd, which probably do something similar to what live-initramfs provides (I have not looked at live-initramfs). > When node starts up, it loads initramfs but fails mounting root filesystem. Does the NFS mount fail? Or the creation of the ram disk (tmpfs) that will be combined with the NFS mount? Or the aufs mount that combines these two? Additional details are needed. I've attached the two scripts that I use. The first one sets up AUFS directories prior to the NFS mount, and forces the NFS mount to go to the correct location. The second one creates the ram disk, combines the two, and sets things up so that the initramfs script will switch to that as the system's final root directory. The scripts go here: /etc/initramfs-tools/scripts/init-premount/aufs_setup /etc/initramfs-tools/scripts/nfs-bottom/aufs_nfs The PXELinux config: label hardy kernel vmlinuz-hardy append initrd=initrd.img-hardy ip=dhcp nfsroot=netboot-server:/var/netroots/hardy boot=nfs aufsroot splash quiet Josh
