Category: systemimager-client Group: v3.2.0 >Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: A Baggarley (abaggnc) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: PXE clients do not seem to find files Initial Comment: The clients get an IP address then they seem to locate the TFTP server but never start pulling files.... Here is what I see .... or think I see because it scrolls so quickly UNDI data segment at : 0097ZC0 UNDI data segment size: 58D0 UNDI code segment at: 009CB90 UNDI code segment size: 2470 PXE entry point founf (we hope) at 9CB9:00CC My IP adress seems to be 0A14E6C8 10.20.230.200 IP 10.20.230.200:10.20.230.132:10.20.230.1:255.255.255.0 TFTP prefix: Trying to load prelinux.cfg/0A14E6C8 Booting form local disk: opening: prelinux.cfg/0A14E6C8 opening: prelinux.cfg/0A14E6C opening: prelinux.cfg/0A14E6 opening: prelinux.cfg/0A14E opening: prelinux.cfg/0A14 opening: prelinux.cfg/0A opening: prelinux.cfg/0 opening: prelinux.cfg then there is a line or two more but they go by so quickly I can not get a pause... Does anyone have any idea what I am or am not doing right .... I need to image about 4000 machines and was hoping to use flamethrower with a PXE boot since the devices do not have a floppy controller onboard and mkautoinstalldiskette only associates the floppy drive with fd0-fd7, not my usb /sda ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: A Baggarley (abaggnc) Date: 2004-10-20 12:03 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1122913 You are correct it actually says pxelinux not prelinux.cfg. Have not been able to test the tftp yet for the box continually reboots once it fials to find the files. And yes mkdhcpserver has been run ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Brian Elliott Finley (brianfinley) Date: 2004-10-18 23:27 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=140 Just noticed your bit about what you "think" you see. I was wondering if some new kind of firmware was out. Heh. Anywho, if you pause it, or capture the output from a serial console, can you see if it actually says "pxelinux.cfg"? Can you still try the tftp test I mention, only try to grab the following file, which may be the last one scrolling off your screen: pxelinux.cfg/default One other question: have you run "mkdhcpserver"? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Brian Elliott Finley (brianfinley) Date: 2004-10-18 23:05 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=140 First, I would have expected it to say "pxelinux.cfg/" instead of "prelinux.cfg". So, assuming that the only difference in this firmware is filenames (which may be a bad assumption) what you can do is the following, and it will probably work: cd /tftpboot mv pxelinux.cfg prelinux.cfg ln -s prelinux.cfg pxelinux.cfg # there may be some SI things that look for this cp prelinux.cfg/default prelinux.cfg/0 Then test your tftp configuration manually, to see if you can retrieve the default config file (now named "0"): cd /tmp/ tftp servername tftp> get prelinux.cfg/0 Received 173 bytes in 0.2 seconds tftp> Cheers! -Brian ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Ray Van dolson (rayvd) Date: 2004-10-18 19:19 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=31335 This exact thing happens on our HP DL140 server as well. These boxes have Broadcom BCM5704 gigabit cards in them. I get nearly the same output as above, except that it makes an attempt to read prelinux.cfg/default and then tries to boot from the hard disk (which of course fails). Maybe this is just an issue with my NIC. It seems HP has a PXE patch of some sort out for these systems, but as they only seem to come in .rpm format, they aren't too useful as far as applying to a virgin system. :-) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100259&aid=1029243&group_id=259 ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: IT Product Guide on ITManagersJournal Use IT products in your business?
