Hi,
Yes, I'm aware of this and this is what I checked first. In fact, I
removed the initrd from the directory where vmlinuz was located and it
produced an error during PXE boot. Thus I am confident that I am using
the intended vmlinuz and initrd. What really worries me is that the end
result, just after the %pre script (the pb is the same is the script is
empty), is that /lib/modules contains modules for an older kernel
version... The only possibility for me would be to have the old initrd
version (7.0) but I don't even have it on my system!
Cheers,
Michel

I ran into this with upstream last week:

The kernel and initrd.img must be the kernel and initrd.img that is in
the version being used in the pivot root (eg if you have 7.0 kernel
and 7.1 kernel). This was because the pxe boot was referring to an old
kernel that I didn't realize until I checked what exactly the pxe
server had.

I double-checked the kernel version used and the kernel version of
the modules provided by initrd (using lsinitrd, I should have done
it before) with SL 7.1: in fact, they are both the same,
3.10.0.229 <tel:3.10.0.229>. But when PXE booting vmlinuz+initrd,
I end up with kernel modules for 3.10.0.123 <tel:3.10.0.123>
(version from 7.0) in /lib/modules... How this is possible? I
removed the initrd file checked with lsinitrd to ensure that I was
getting an error when booting about the missing file so I am
really using this initrd file...
I am lost... Any idea is welcome!

Hi,
I don't know if this is related in some ways to the other
recent thread about "SL 7.1, PXE install". I'm struggling with
SL7.1 (and I have the same pb with CentOS 7.1) when trying to
do a PXE install of a machine using the last versions of
images/pxeboot/vmlinuz and initrd.img. The install fails when
trying to set the default filesystem type to XFS (that I don't
use on this machine) because the xfs module is not found.
Looking at console (ALT/F2), I saw that the kernel version
provided by vmlinuz (uname -r) is not matching the kernel
version for which modules are provided in initrd
(/lib/modules). If I take vmlinuz and initrd from SL7.0 I
don't see the problem (but I am not sure I can install 7.1
booting with vmlinuz/initrd from 7.0).
Is it expected ? Am I doing a trivial mistake ? Or is there an
issue ?
