Maurice, This is just a different method of booting a Linux kernel with PXE.
Instead of loading an etherboot module, we are loading pxelinux.0, which then turns around and loads the kernel. It works, because the PXE bootrom knows how to talk to that particular NIC. If it didn't, it wouldn't even be able to load the Etherboot module. Take a look at http://www.LTSP.org/README.pxe for more info Jim McQuillan [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Tue, 16 Mar 2004, Maurice Libes wrote: > hi > > with previous versions of LTSP i had to get a PXE kernel on rom-o-matic > which was related to a certain NIC card... > > but, installing ltsp_kernel-3.0.13-0.i386.rpm > i discovered that there is a PXE kernel inside available > under /tftpboot/lts/2.4.24-ltsp-1/pxelinux.0 > (works perfectly thanks ;-) > > how comes that this pxelinux.0 doesn't have to know the NIC card model? > > how is it build? where does it comes from? > > may i reuse it in all circumstances? i mean if i want to boot with an > older LTSP kernel (let's say 2.4.22-ltsp-1)... can i re use pxelinux.0 > and put it under /tftpboot/lts/2.4.22-ltsp-1/pxelinux.0 > > thanks for some explanations about this pxelinux.0 > > > ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials Free Linux tutorial presented by Daniel Robbins, President and CEO of GenToo technologies.
