Andrew, I've compiled ans installed SystemImager on a gentoo, and spent all day trying to make it works :) emerged xinetd, tftp-hpa unmerged tftp-hpa and emerged atftp made a link from atftp (client) to tftp in order do pleas the mkbootserver script, and finally emerged syslinux:
for my surprise there is no pxe daemon, executable or whatever I (and mkbootserver) would expect in the path... Here is what mkbootserver says: This script may modify the following files: /etc/services /etc/inetd.conf /etc/xinetd.d/tftp You should already have a kernel and ramdisk to use. Do you wish to continue (y/[n])? Ok, continuing... Where should tftpd serve files from ([/tftpboot]? Checking for a tftp server...found. Checking if tftp server is H. Peter Anvin's tftp server... doesn't look like it. Checking if tftp server is atftpd... yup - right on! Checking for a running inetd... Not found. Checking for a running xinetd... 6267. Looking for update-inetd... not found. /etc/xinetd.d/tftp does not already exist, so not backing it up. Sending SIGUSR2 to xinetd... done. Looking for a tftp client... found. Checking for loopback interface... up. Does tftp server work... yes. Looking for a pxe daemon... which: no pxe in (/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin) not found. **************************************************************** I couldn't find a pxe daemon on your system. For RedHat systems, you can install the pxe RPM for your release. For Debian systems, you can try one of the debs i've built from the RedHat package source. These packages should be available from http://dannf.org/systemimager **************************************************************** pxe daemon installation failed I am a bit frustrated since It worked (almost) fine with Debian, but I don't want to keep two distributions on my cluster, and gentoo rocks ;-) While I write I am trying to download the syslinux fonts from http://freshmeat.net/projects/syslinux/ (and the conection is down :/), but I am not sure It is the solution. Thanks, Souto PS: about the other thread, thanks for the advice, I will try changing for lilo as soon I get the server running on a gentoo box.
