Hi, thanks for your feedback. I managed to successfully to boot the .iso via memdisk but now the problem is that i cannot preseed the installation as the machine boots.
I have two options: - either I hack the iso and set a default preseed - I backtrack and use the netinst installation by preseeding a local apt repository. To this regard, i used build-simple-cdd --do-mirror command on the pxe server in order to let the pxe client load packages from that repository. The problem is that in tmp/mirror/dists/jessie/ there is the file Release but not Release.gpg. Now when the debian-installer looks fro this file it blocks the client installation. Any suggestions? best reagrds, Valerio Il 17/09/2016 20:28, Thomas Schmitt ha scritto: > Hi, > > Valerio wrote: >> suppose that on my PXE server I havedebian-8.5.0-amd64-CD-1.iso, [...] >> More generally, suppose I create my own iso (with build-simple-cdd), how >> can I install it via PXE? > > I guess this is what you need: > http://www.syslinux.org/wiki/index.php?title=MEMDISK > (I never tested it but only know it from hearsay.) > > It says that a isohybrid ISO can be used in both roles, as "APPEND iso" > and as "APPEND harddisk".
