Hello, I'm trying to get FAI working with Linux Kernel Virtual Machines. I had a go myself using the FAI and syslinux docs, and could get the KVM to load a kernel (once I'd set up tftp/pxelinux.cfg/default), but not mount the NFS export. I was able to mount it manually from the initrd.img
kvm -boot n -tftp /my/tftp/ -bootp /pxelinux.0 -hda /my/4g-pxe-test.img -vnc :1 This is how pxelinux.cfg looked when I gave up. DEFAULT test1 LABEL test1 KERNEL vmlinuz-2.6.26-2-amd64 APPEND root=/dev/nfs nfsdir=10.0.2.2:/my/nfsroot/ initrd=initrd.img-2.6.26-2-amd64 network ip=dhcp nfsaddrs=10.0.2.15:10 .0.2.2::255.255.255.0:test1::dhcp INITRD initrd.img-2.6.26-2-amd64 IPAPPEND 2 I've had a look around on the wiki and the mailing list for setups that people have working. Nothing on the mailing list that I could find, but the wiki had http://faiwiki.informatik.uni-koeln.de/index.php/Local_testing_with_KVM%2C_VDE_and_dnsmasq. I've left some comments on the discussion page there about how I got on. http://faiwiki.informatik.uni-koeln.de/index.php/Talk:Local_testing_with_KVM%2C_VDE_and_dnsmasq Any help or suggestions gratefully received.
