Hello
Could someone please help with getting PXE booting to work with Intel Pro/1000 MT desktop nics (10/100/1000).
I have a standard Redhat Hat 8 install � actually k12ltsp�s version 3 package.
Following is what I have tried:
- Booted pc with nic and received the following error message:
Error � could not automatically detect network card
PCI cards should be detected automatically
ISA card cannot be detected, so they requrire
The nic driver to be specified in a �NIC� = parameter
To be passed on to the kernel line,
Usually specified in Option-129, in the
/etc/dhcpd.conf file.
- Realizing that this nic did not have a driver for it in the standard Redhat 8 system, I grabbed Intels driver and compilied it and placed it in the /usr/src/linux-2.4.18-14/drivers/net directory. I ran lsmod to see if it worked, came back with various info, all seemed well.
- Tried again, and got the error from number 1.
- Next I added the following to the dhcpd.conf file
host ws100 {
option option-128 00:07:e9:0c:eb:79;
option option-129 "NIC=e100";
hardware ethernet 00:07:E9:0C:EB:79;
fixed-address 192.168.0.100;
}
- Booted, and got error from number 1.
- Next I added the following to my dhcpd.conf file
host ws100 {
filename "/lts/vmlinuz-2.4.18-ltsp"; ###Note this is the addition
option option-128 00:07:e9:0c:eb:79;
option option-129 "NIC=e100";
hardware ethernet 00:07:E9:0C:EB:79;
fixed-address 192.168.0.100;
}
- After booting with this I got the following error
PXE-E79: NBP is to big to fit in free base memory
- Next I change the file name line to say the follwing:
filename "/lts/boot/pxe/pxelinux.bin";
- This time when I boot I get the following error message:
PXE-T101 file not found (but it is there)
Again if someone could please help me I would be most grateful
