Never mind!  I found my problem.  I inadvertently had another TFTP
application running in the background that I was not aware of.

Excuse my top posting.

 

Are you forgetting to configure the tftp server part of this?

 

For example, a snippet of a dhcpd.conf which works is:

 

allow booting;
allow bootp;
class "pxeclients" {
   match if substring(option vendor-class-identifier, 0, 9) = "PXEClient";
   next-server 192.168.1.121;
   filename "linux-install/pxelinux.0";
}

 

This tells the PXEClient to look in the directory /tftpboot/linux-install
for the file pxelinux.0


And an ls -l /tftpboot/linux-install shows:

 

-rw-rw-r--  1 root root   12952 Sep 18 17:23 pxelinux.0
drwxr-xr-x  2 root root    4096 Sep 12 15:27 pxelinux.cfg

The directory pxelinux.cfg holds the file often named "default" which itsels
contains the instructions for the kernel boot

 

HTH

Subject: [Soekris] Loading Linux Image on NET4526

I am trying to load a Linux image onto a new net4526 board and I am not
having any luck.  For reference, I want to load this image (previously used
on a net4501) using a Windows based PC.  I have read every possible posting
I can find on how to do this and still have not been successful.  The
closest thing I have found is
http://pyramid.metrix.net/trac/wiki/InstallingPyramid/PxeBootWin.  I have
followed the procedures in that link the best I can but still have problems.

 

Basically, I can get the board to obtain an IP address via DHCP, but then I
get the error "PXE-E3B:  TFTP Error - File Not found".  The Windows firewall
is disabled

 

Below is the dhcpd.conf file I am using.  Since I cannot find any detailed
log related to the error, I can only assume it cannot find the file
"pxelinux.0" which I have put in the TFTP directory as specified in the
procedure.

 

# dhcpd.conf

#

# Configuration file for ISC dhcpd (see 'man dhcpd.conf')

#

ddns-update-style none;

 

subnet 192.168.200.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {

  range 192.168.200.2 192.168.200.2;

##

# If 192.168.200.1 is also an internet gateway and you

# want your PXE booted device to be able to route to it on

# boot, uncomment these lines.

##

#  option routers 192.168.200.1;

#  option domain-name "metrix.net";

#  option domain-name-servers 192.168.200.1;

 

  allow booting;

  allow bootp;

 

  next-server 192.168.200.1;

  filename "pxelinux.0";

 

  max-lease-time 60;

  default-lease-time 60;

}
